Chinese Pepper Steak Recipe
Ingredients
For the Steak:
1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
For the Sauce:
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
For the Stir-Fry:
2 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
2 bell peppers (red and green), cut into strips
1 medium onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (optional)
Instructions
Marinate the Steak:
In a bowl, toss the sliced steak with 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp cornstarch. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Cook the Vegetables:
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onion. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp. Remove and set aside.
Cook the Steak:
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Add the marinated steak in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
Combine and Simmer:
Add the garlic and ginger to the steak. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir well.
Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Serve:
Serve hot over steamed white rice or noodles. Garnish with green onions if desired.
