PEPPER STEAK

This pepper steak stir fry is thinly sliced flank steak cooked with red and green
bell peppers in a savory sauce. A quick and easy meal that tastes even better than
take out!

I always order pepper steak at my local Chinese restaurant, it’s one of my favorite
dishes. This homemade version is ready in minutes and has that same great
restaurant flavor.

There’s nothing better than a delicious Asian dish that’s not only easy to make, but
also better than takeout. This pepper steak stir fry is a restaurant quality meal
made in the comfort of your own home!

Method

This dish is a combination of sauteed bell peppers, browned steak and a savory
sauce. The recipe starts by cooking the sliced peppers until tender. The next step
is to add the thinly sliced flank steak into the pan. The finishing touch is the 2
minute sauce which gets poured over the meat and vegetables and then simmered
until thickened. Add a bowl of steamed rice and dinner is ready!
