Absolutely! Here’s a recipe for Pepper Steak:
Pepper Steak
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds beef steak (sirloin or flank), sliced thinly against the grain
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers (green, red, or a mix), thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: Sliced green onions for garnish
Directions:
- Prep the Beef:
- Slice the beef thinly against the grain and set it aside.
- Make the Sauce Mixture:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, and black pepper. Set aside.
- Cook the Beef:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until it’s browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
- Sauté Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil if needed. Sauté the sliced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic until they start to soften, for about 3-4 minutes.
- Combine and Cook:
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables.
- Give the sauce mixture a quick stir to ensure the cornstarch is well incorporated and then pour it over the beef and vegetables in the skillet.
- Simmer and Thicken:
- Cook and stir continuously until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables, about 2-3 minutes. The sauce will become glossy.
- Garnish and Serve:
- If desired, garnish with sliced green onions.
- Serve the pepper steak hot over rice or noodles.

This recipe makes approximately 4 servings.
