Pepper Steak Recipe

Slice the Beef

Begin by slicing the beef sirloin steak into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. This will help the beef cook quickly and evenly.

Prepare the Vegetables

Chop the bell peppers into strips and slice the onion into thin wedges. Mince the garlic cloves.

Mix Marinade

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Mix well until the cornstarch is dissolved.

Marinate the Beef

Place the sliced beef in a mixing bowl and pour the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.

Cook the Beef

Push the sautéed vegetables to the sides of the skillet, creating space in the center. Add the marinated beef strips and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through.

Combine and Serve

Mix the cooked beef with the vegetables in the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to ensure everything is heated through. If serving with rice, prepare the rice according to package instructions. Serve the pepper steak over rice, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.
