Ingredients:
For the Steak Marinade:
1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For the Stir-Fry:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (any color)
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
1/2 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (cornstarch slurry)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
Cooked white rice or steamed rice, for serving
Instructions:
Marinate the Steak:
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Toss the sliced steak in the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Cook the Steak:
In the same pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the marinated steak in batches, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
Prepare the Sauce:
In the same pan, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the beef broth, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
Combine and Serve:
Add the cooked steak, onions, and peppers back into the pan. Toss everything together in the sauce, allowing it to coat the ingredients evenly.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve:
Serve the sizzling Chinese pepper steak over a bed of steamed white rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
