Description

Sizzling Pepper Steak with Onions is a flavorful and speedy weeknight stir‑fry featuring marinated flank steak, crisp bell peppers, and onions coated in a savory, glossy sauce. Ready in 30 minutes with restaurant-style flair and bold umami flavor.


Ingredients

1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

2 tbsp soy sauce (for marinade)

1 tbsp cornstarch (for marinade)

1 tbsp vegetable oil (for marinade)

2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided (for stir‑fry)

1 large onion, thinly sliced

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

1/3 cup soy sauce (for sauce)

2 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp cornstarch (for sauce)

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp brown sugar

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup beef broth

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Marinate flank steak with soy sauce, cornstarch, and oil for 15–20 minutes.
  2. Whisk sauce ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a hot skillet or wok. Add steak in a single layer and sear 1–2 minutes per side; remove and set aside.
  4. Add remaining oil; stir‑fry onions and bell peppers until tender‑crisp (3–4 minutes).
  5. Add garlic and ginger; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Return steak to pan, stir sauce, then pour it in.
  7. Cook 1–2 minutes, stirring, until sauce thickens and coats beef and veggies.
  8. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds; serve hot.

Notes

  • Use sirloin or skirt steak as substitutes if flank isn’t available.
  • Add sliced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Include mushrooms or snap peas for extra veggies.
  • A dash of hoisin sauce brings sweetness and depth.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce for a lighter option.
