Green Pepper Steak Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
• 2 green bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce (optional for added flavor)
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for a bit of heat)
• Cooked white rice (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Steak:
   • In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), cornstarch, and sugar. Mix well.
   • Add the thinly sliced steak to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, mix the beef broth with the black pepper and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
3. Cook the Steak:
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
   • Add the marinated steak to the skillet in a single layer, cooking until browned on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side). Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
   • Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
4. Cook the Vegetables:
   • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil.
   • Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
   • Add the sliced green bell peppers and onion. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
5. Combine and Finish:
   • Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables.
   • Pour the prepared beef broth mixture over the steak and vegetables. Stir well to combine.
   • Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the green pepper steak hot over cooked white rice.
