Pepper Steak
Pepper steak is quick, easy and perfect to whip up any night of the week. Strips of beef and bell peppers are stir fried in a wok to create a delicious main dish, ready in no time! I love it with brown rice, but cauliflower rice would also be great on the side.

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 12 oz top round beef (trimmed)
- 4 teaspoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice wine
- 3 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 large onion (sliced into thin strips)
- 1 bell pepper (sliced into thin strips)
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Slice beef into thin slices with the grain. Cut each strip across the grain about 1" long so you have small thin slices. Place in a bowl and add 4 tsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of rice wine, 1 tsp cornstarch and black pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp water and 2 tsp cornstarch. Set aside.
- Heat the wok on high heat. Swirl in 2 teaspoons of the oil and add the beef spreading evenly in the wok. Cook undisturbed for 20 seconds letting the beef brown. Using a spatula, stir meat, cooking another 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Add remaining teaspoon of oil to wok, add peppers and onions and cook about 4 to 5 minutes. Return beef to the wok, add the sauce and red pepper flakes and stir fry about 30 seconds until slightly thickened.
Notes
Serve over brown rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal. Optional additions include garlic, mushrooms, or sriracha for extra flavor.
