Garlic Lovers unite! This pepper steak stir fry recipe has been in the works for some time. It’s definitely in the running for the most delicious stir fry recipe I’ve ever shared with you. Not to mention that it’s a million times healthier than the stuff you get from a restaurant! Hands down tastes better than your favorite takeout joint and is ready in mins! There are so many reasons why I love this recipe. My pepper steak recipe is healthy, loaded with protein, colorful from peppers, and pretty simple to make at home. Marinate the meat right before making it or on Sunday to get a jump start on Monday night dinner. Then enjoy leftovers because they get even more garlicky as they hang out in the fridge.
How to make pepper steak:
Ingredients to make the best pepper steak:
Beef: You can use a few different cuts for this. Thinly sliced top sirloin steak, flank steak, top round steak, or skirt steak will all work here. I suggest slicing the meat into thin beef strips, on the bias against the grain to help make it tender and cook up super quick without drying out.Veggies: a couple of red bell pepper or green bell peppers, cut into cubes, and an onion, cut into thick slices. The peppers add a natural sweetness to the dish that works beautifully with the other ingredients.Aromatics: grated ginger or paste and a handful of garlic cloves. You can always cut back on the garlic if you aren’t a huge fan. Go with 1-3 cloves if you’re cooking for a date!Sauces + Stock: You’ll need stock (or broth) soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil for this recipe. You can find all of these sauces in most mainstream grocery stores. Keep in mind that since we’re using two different sodium-rich sauces and stock for this recipe, I suggest using low-sodium soy sauce and low-sodium broth here. I found the recipe to be too salty if I used the regular versions here.Seasonings: Nothing out of the ordinary here! You’ll need sugar, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes to season the pepper steak stir fry.Rice for serving: I like to serve this recipe with fluffy white rice cooked in my favorite rice cooker. You can serve this on its own, with brown rice, or with wok-fried noodles!
