Spicy Stir-fried Beef with Mixed Peppers

This delightful Thailand-style stir-fried beef steak with mixed peppers is great as a one-dish meal with some piping hot steamed rice, or as a main dish to be served with other foods for a complete meal. We used ripe red Thai long chilies along with an equal amount of green ones, and some yellow wax peppers for an appetizing blend of color. We add just a little Thai hot chili for that spicy flavor, but you can leave them out for an equally delicious result.
