Sizzling Chinese Pepper Steak with Onions

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Marinate the Beef

In a bowl mix:

  • soy sauce
  • cornstarch
  • oil
  • black pepper

Add sliced beef, coat well, and marinate 15 minutes.
This makes the beef tender and velvety.


2. Make the Stir-Fry Sauce

Mix together:

  • soy sauce
  • oyster sauce
  • cornstarch
  • sugar
  • beef broth
  • sesame oil

Set aside.


3. Sear the Beef

  • Heat oil in a wok or pan on high heat.
  • Add beef in a single layer.
  • Cook 1–2 minutes until browned (don’t overcook).
  • Remove from pan.

4. Stir-Fry Vegetables

In the same pan:

  • Add sliced onions → cook 1 minute
  • Add garlic + ginger → 10 seconds
  • Add bell peppers → stir-fry 2 minutes
    (Crisp-tender is best.)

5. Add the Beef Back

  • Return beef to the pan
  • Pour in the sauce
  • Stir on high heat for 1–2 minutes until thick, glossy, and sizzling

🍽️ Serve With

  • Steamed rice
  • Fried rice
  • Noodles
  • Cauliflower rice
  • Over mashed potatoes (fusion style)

⭐ Tips for Perfect Pepper Steak

  • Slice beef very thin (against the grain).
  • Marinate with cornstarch = velvet texture.
  • High heat always.
  • Don’t overcook peppers — keep them a little crisp.
