First, cut the meat into thin strips, like you would for beef stroganoff. Put them in a bowl and pour over the soy sauce. Ahead of time, whisk the soy sauce with the flour and cornstarch so there are no lumps. Toss the meat in the sauce and let it sit for ten minutes. In a separate bowl, stir the vinegar, sugar, and ketchup into a smooth mixture — that's your sweet-and-sour sauce. Now cut the carrot and pepper into strips (you can dice the pepper instead, if you like). Dice the pineapple, too. Pour vegetable oil into a skillet and fry the pepper, carrot, and pineapple one at a time — start with the carrot, and once it changes color add the pepper. Add the pineapple last. As soon as everything is ready, transfer it to a bowl. Put the meat into that same skillet, spacing the pieces apart so they sear rather than steam and get a nice crust. Now add the sauteed vegetables and pineapple back to the meat. Pour the sweet-and-sour sauce over everything. Lower the heat and simmer gently for about ten minutes. Serve over boiled rice — it's a Chinese dish, after all. Don't add any salt; there's plenty in the soy sauce and ketchup!
