Ingredients
  

1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy, sliced into 1/4-inch pieces)

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 medium onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or basil (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Start by washing the bell peppers and slicing them into strips. Slice the onion and mince the garlic. Cut the sausage into bite-sized pieces.

    Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot before adding the sausage to get a nice sear.

      Cook the Sausage: Add the sausage pieces to the hot pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.

        Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook for 2 minutes until they start to soften. Then, add the sliced bell peppers and continue to sauté for an additional 5 minutes until the peppers are tender but still crisp.

          Add Garlic and Season: Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

            Combine with Sausage: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the veggies. Pour in the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, stirring well to combine all ingredients. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

              Final Touches: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil for a burst of freshness.

                Serve Hot: Serve the stir-fry immediately, either on its own or over a bed of rice or quinoa for a heartier meal.
