Pepper steak is a DELICIOUS Chinese-style stir-fry dish that is flavorful, easy to make, and tastes even better than Chinese takeaway!
Pepper Steak Recipe
Steak and peppers are absolutely amazing together. Plus, this dish is SUPER simple, flavorful, and easy to make.
First, you need to choose THE BEST cut of meat for this recipe; this step is key to a juicy and tender stir-fry steak dish. I prefer Sirloin because it is lean and absorbs the marinade well. I slice it thinly to cook faster.
I marinate the steak for 30-45 minutes, which is incredibly important. Trust me, it enhances the flavor of this dish significantly!
My secret to the best steak and peppers dish ever is adding 1 or 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary; they add an incredibly delicious flavor.
You'll Need
Here is an overview of all the ingredients I used to make this dish. The quantities are in the recipe card.
Steak: I use sirloin steak sliced into strips.
Pepper: I use bell peppers because they are colorful and sweet. However, feel free to use your favorite pepper, such as Banana Peppers, Sichuan Peppercorns, Habanero, or Poblano.
Onion and garlic: They enhance the flavor of this dish. I use a large sliced onion and about 3 crushed cloves of garlic.
Salt and black pepper: To taste.
Fresh rosemary: I love adding fresh rosemary to flavor any steak dish. They go well together.
Beef broth : I use low sodium.
Soy sauce: Also low sodium.
Sesame oil: it adds a little bit of nutty flavor.
Cornstarch: To thicken the sauce.
Sesame seeds: This is optional; just to garnish the dish.
How To Make The Recipe
One: Cut the beef into thin strips and add them to a large bowl.
Two: Add crushed garlic, soy sauce, onion, salt, pepper, and rosemary to the steak and leave it to marinate for 30 minutes.
Three: Heat the sesame oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the beef strips with the marinade and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Tip: DON'T add the beef until the oil is hot.
Four: Then add the bell pepper, beef broth, and cornstarch and cook for 4-5 minutes until the sauce is thickened.
Five: Garnish with sesame seeds, and serve warm.
Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat on the stove top or microwave.
