Description
A quick and flavorful pepper steak dish with tender beef strips, crisp bell peppers, and a rich savory sauce infused with bold black pepper.
Ingredients
- 500 g beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
Instructions
- Slice beef thinly against the grain. In a bowl, mix with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Marinate for 15–20 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan or wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry beef for 2–3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
- Add remaining oil to the pan. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant.
- Add onion and bell peppers, stir-frying for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
- Return beef to the pan. Add beef broth, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir and simmer for 3–5 minutes until sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve hot.
Notes
- Slice beef against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Do not overcook beef to prevent toughness.
- Use high heat for quick stir-frying.
- Add a splash of water or broth when reheating to loosen sauce.
- Customize with extra vegetables or spice as desired.
