Chinese Pepper Steak
Description
This Chinese Pepper Steak recipe starts with flank steak sliced thinly against the grain, marinated in soy sauce and dry sherry to tenderize and enhance flavor. The vegetables include yellow onion, red and green bell peppers, scallions, minced garlic, and ginger, providing aromatic and slightly sweet components.
The cooking process involves stir-frying the vegetables until they begin to soften, then quickly cooking the steak in the same pan at high heat for a brief period, preserving tenderness. The sauce made from soy sauce, sherry, beef stock, cornstarch, sugar, and coarse black pepper is added back to the pan to thicken slightly, coating the steak and vegetables. The result is a dish with tender beef strips and vegetables that still retain some crispness, all coated in a peppery, savory sauce.
This dish can be served over steamed rice or noodles to absorb the flavorful sauce and complement the hearty protein and vegetables.
