Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 2 cups rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.
In a medium bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and cornstarch. Add the steak and toss to coat evenly. Let the beef marinate for 10 minutes.
While the beef marinates, slice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by combining the beef broth, remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, ground black pepper, and brown sugar. Stir to mix and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef and sear for 2–3 minutes, until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables, stirring well to combine.
Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve the pepper steak hot over steamed rice, if desired.
