Description
Pepper Steak is a flavorful and satisfying dish that combines tender strips of flank steak with a savory-sweet sauce made from soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar. Paired with crisp bell peppers and onions, this dish is perfect over a bed of rice for a wholesome and quick meal.
Ingredients
1.5 lbs flank steak, thinly sliced
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to form the marinade. Add the sliced flank steak and mix to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated steak slices and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the steak is browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Return the cooked steak to the skillet, stirring everything together. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and coat the steak and vegetables.
- Serve hot over rice and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, swap the flank steak for tofu, tempeh, or seitan.
For added heat, add sliced chili peppers or chili sauce.
You can add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or snap peas for more variety.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
