Bell Pepper Steak (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
02 -
1 pound beef steak (flank, sirloin, or ribeye), thinly sliced.
03 -
1 onion, sliced.
04 -
1 teaspoon cornstarch.
05 -
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced.
06 -
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced.
07 -
2 tablespoons soy sauce.
08 -
1 garlic clove, minced.
09 -
2 teaspoons ginger, finely grated.
10 -
1 tablespoon oyster sauce.
11 -
1/4 cup water or beef broth.
12 -
Sprinkle of salt and pepper.
# Instructions:
01 -
In a bowl, stir together oyster sauce, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Toss the sliced beef into the mix and make sure it's coated. Let it rest for about 15 minutes.
02 -
Heat a tablespoon of oil over high flame in a large skillet. Spread the beef out in a single layer and sear for roughly 2 minutes per side until browned. Take it off the heat and set aside.
03 -
Pour the rest of the oil into the same pan. Toss in the sliced peppers and onion. Cook for about 4 minutes until they're tender but still slightly crunchy.
04 -
Drop in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir them around for a minute, just long enough for the lovely smell to come out.
05 -
Put the seared beef back in the skillet. Pour in the broth, and mix everything thoroughly. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens up. Finish with a pinch of salt and pepper.
# Notes:
01 -
Cutting the meat against the grain makes it easier to chew.
02 -
Pairs best with freshly steamed rice.
03 -
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
