Ingredients:
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers (preferably different colors), sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/2 cup beef broth or water
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- Cooked white rice, for serving
- Fresh cilantro or green onions, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions:
- Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, sugar, and black pepper. Add the sliced steak and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
- Sear the Steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the steak for 1-2 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
- Saute Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil if needed. Add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add Aromatics and Sauce: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the beef broth (or water), hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Combine and Simmer: Return the seared steak to the skillet or wok, along with any juices that have accumulated. Toss everything together and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the steak and vegetables.
- Serve: Serve the Best-Ever Pepper Steak hot over cooked white rice. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions if desired.
