Sizzling Chinese Pepper Steak with Onions

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Marinate the Beef:
  • In a bowl, mix sliced beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, oil, and black pepper.
  • Let marinate 15–30 minutes while prepping vegetables.
  1. Prep the Sauce:
  • Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, broth, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  1. Stir-Fry the Beef:
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.

  • Add garlic and ginger; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  1. Combine & Sizzle:
  • Return beef to the pan. Pour in the sauce.
  • Toss everything together and cook 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens and beef is fully cooked.
  1. Serve:
  • Sprinkle with green onions if desired.
  • Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Slice beef very thin against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  • For extra sizzle, preheat the pan until almost smoking before adding beef.
  • Add mushrooms or snap peas for more veggies.
