Easy Pepper Steak
This sizzling Chinese pepper steak is one of my favorite stir-fries. Made with flank steak, bell peppers, garlic, and ginger, it's packed with delicious Asian flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 1 medium green bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 1 ¼ pounds flank steak (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons minced ginger
For the sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup chicken broth (or water)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (or more to taste)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the peppers for 2-3 minutes until softened. Remove to a plate.
- Add another tablespoon of oil. Add the steak and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned on the outside but still pink on the inside.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another 30 seconds until it smells delicious.
- Add the bell peppers back to the pan. Give the sauce mixture a stir, then pour into the pan. Cook until the sauce thickens, then transfer to a serving dish. Enjoy!
