Start with about 1 pound 3/4 of skirt steak or flat meat, seasoning both sides with salt and black pepper.

Sear the steak in a hot cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes per side, depending on thickness.

Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest before slicing against the grain.

Slice 1 red bell pepper and 1 yellow bell pepper, and a small onion.

Add more oil to the skillet and sauté the sliced bell peppers, onion, and 4 minced garlic cloves with a little salt for about 4 minutes until softened.

Stir in 2 1/2 tablespoons of flour until no longer white powder is visible.

Gradually add 2 cups of beef broth to the skillet, stirring to prevent clumping of the flour.

Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the mixture, reducing heat to medium.

Season with fresh cracked pepper and cook until the gravy thickens.

Add the sliced steak back into the skillet, stir to combine, and serve.
