What Makes This Recipe Stand Out:
Our Best-Ever Pepper Steak is all about the balance of flavors and textures. The star of the show, the steak, is seared to perfection, locking in its juices. The bell peppers bring a touch of sweetness and a pop of color, while the onions add a tangy edge. The brown sauce, rich with the umami flavors of soy sauce and beef broth, ties everything together.
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs sirloin steak, sliced into thin strips
2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 green), sliced
1 large onion, sliced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions:
Start by heating the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak strips, season with salt and pepper, and sear until they are nicely browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Cook until they are tender and the onions are slightly translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
In a separate bowl, combine the soy sauce, beef broth, and cornstarch, stirring until there are no lumps.
Return the steak to the skillet and pour in the soy sauce mixture. Stir everything together, ensuring the steak and vegetables are well-coated.
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
Serve the pepper steak over cooked rice, spooning extra sauce on top for added flavor.
