Ingredients
1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
2 large bell peppers (green and red), sliced into strips
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, beef broth, cornstarch, brown sugar, and black pepper to create the sauce for the pepper steak recipe.
Step 2: Toss the sliced beef with one tablespoon of the sauce mixture and let it marinate for 10 minutes while you prep the vegetables.
Step 3: Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the beef in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes until browned. Remove beef and set aside.
Step 4: Add the remaining oil to the same pan. Sauté the onions and bell peppers for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for another 30 seconds.
Step 5: Return the beef to the pan and pour in the remaining sauce. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and coated the pepper steak recipe components perfectly.
Notes
For the best texture, ensure your pan is extremely hot before adding the meat. This ensures a sear rather than boiling the beef in its own juices.
