Pepper Steak Recipe | PBS Food

    Ingredients

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup oyster sauce
  • 5 garlic cloves, grated
  • 1-inch piece ginger, grated
  • 1½ teaspoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 pounds flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 3 dried red chiles
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Sliced scallions, for garnish
  • Cooked white rice, to serve

Directions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, ginger, and sugar. Add the cornstarch and whisk until it is dissolved.
  • Set aside. Season the meat with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry just until it is seared to a nice brown and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil; heat over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers, chiles, and onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Return the beef to the pan. Re-whisk the reserved sauce and pour it over the beef and vegetables. Cook, stirring, until the sauce has slightly thickened, 7–10 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions and serve with rice.
