Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound (1 lb) flank steak, thinly sliced
Vegetables:
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare a zesty marinade by whisking soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, sugar, and black pepper in a mixing bowl, creating a glossy, flavor-packed coating for the meat.
- Ignite a large skillet over high heat, adding a generous splash of vegetable oil to create a searing surface.
- Introduce the sliced beef to the scorching pan, allowing each piece to caramelize and develop a rich, golden-brown exterior for 3-4 minutes.
- Toss minced garlic, sliced onions, and vibrant bell peppers into the skillet, stirring rapidly to maintain their crisp texture and absorb the meat’s savory essence.
- Cascade the prepared sauce over the sizzling ingredients, gently coating each morsel and allowing the mixture to transform into a glossy, thickened glaze within 2 minutes.
- Transfer the aromatic pepper steak immediately onto a bed of fluffy steamed rice, ensuring the dish is served piping hot to maximize flavor and texture.
Notes
- Tenderize beef by slicing against the grain to ensure maximum softness and easier chewing.
- Opt for high-heat cooking methods like stir-frying to maintain meat’s juiciness and develop deep caramelized flavors quickly.
- Use fresh bell peppers with vibrant colors to enhance visual appeal and provide diverse nutritional benefits.
- For gluten-free adaptation, replace soy sauce with tamari and ensure oyster sauce is certified gluten-free.
