Description

This classic Pepper Steak with Bell Peppers and Onion is a flavorful stir-fry featuring tender strips of beef, vibrant bell peppers, and sweet onions coated in a savory sauce. Perfect for weeknight dinners, this dish comes together in under 30 minutes and pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or noodles.


Ingredients

Scale

1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp cornstarch

2 tbsp water

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp honey or brown sugar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp grated fresh ginger

1 tsp sesame oil

Optional: 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes for heat


Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, water, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until browned and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add the remaining oil. Stir-fry the bell peppers and onion for 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.

4. Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

5. Remove from heat and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.

Notes

Use a mix of colorful bell peppers for a visually appealing dish.

If you don’t have oyster sauce, substitute with hoisin sauce or additional soy sauce.

For a gluten-free option, use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
