Easy Chinese Pepper Steak
Description
The recipe begins by slicing sirloin steak into thin strips, which are seared in vegetable oil to develop a browned exterior while remaining tender. The sauce combines soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, beef broth, sugar, black pepper, ginger, and garlic, creating a tangy, savory, and mildly sweet coating for the meat.
Vegetables, including green and red bell peppers alongside white onion slices, are cooked to achieve a tender-crisp bite, adding color and freshness to the dish. The cooked beef is reintroduced to the wok to combine with the sauce and vegetables, allowing flavors to meld for a short time without overcooking.
Garnished optionally with sliced green onions, this Pepper Steak is best served hot immediately after stir-frying. The dish works well as a main course alongside steamed rice or noodles, delivering a balanced mix of texture and flavors.
