2. Make the Spice Paste: Blend the garlic and ginger until smooth.

3. Sauté the Spice Paste: Heat some cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the spice paste and sauté until fragrant.

4. Cook the Beef: Add the sliced beef to the pan. Stir well to coat the beef with the spice paste.

5. Add Sauces and Spices: Pour in the teriyaki sauce, sweet soy sauce, and ground black pepper. Season with sugar and salt. Stir to combine.

6. Add Water: Pour enough water into the pan to cover the beef. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Cook until the liquid reduces and thickens. If the beef is still tough and the liquid has reduced too much, add a little more water and continue to cook until the beef is tender.

7. Thicken the Sauce: To thicken the sauce, mix a small amount of cornstarch with water and stir it into the pan. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.

8. Add Vegetables: Add the sliced onion and chopped bell pepper (or green chili peppers). Stir well and cook for an additional few minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with more sugar, salt, or pepper as needed.

10. Serve: Once the beef is tender and the sauce is thickened, remove from heat. Serve hot with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes.
