In a bowl, combine sliced beef, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix and let sit 10–15 minutes — this tenderizes the meat.
2. Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together: Soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, vinegar, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Set aside.
3. Sear the Steak
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add beef in a single layer (work in batches). Sear until browned but still tender (about 2–3 minutes). Remove and set aside.
4. Stir-Fry the Veggies
In the same pan, add:
Onion
Bell peppers
Cook 3–4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and ginger; cook 30 seconds.
5. Add Beef & Sauce
Return steak to the pan. Pour in the sauce. Cook 1–2 minutes until thick and glossy.
6. Serve
Serve hot over: 🍚 Steamed rice 🍜 Noodles 🥦 Or with stir-fried veggies
❤️ Tips for the Best Pepper Steak
Slice beef thin for restaurant-style tenderness.
High heat = perfect sear.
Add a splash of water if sauce gets too thick.
For spicy: add chili flakes or sliced red chilies.
