Preparing Sizzling Chinese Pepper Steak with Onions
Creating this vibrant dish requires a few simple steps. First, you’ll marinate the flank steak. This not only tenderizes the meat but also infuses it with flavor. You’ll then stir-fry the steak until browned before adding the vegetables, resulting in a dish that’s both colorful and aromatic. Finally, a quick toss with oyster sauce rounds out the flavor profile beautifully.
What you’ll need
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Feel free to swap the bell pepper for a different color or type, such as a poblano for a little heat, or use broccoli for a veggie boost!
