Pepper Steak and Fries

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the French fries according to package directions or bake/fry homemade fries until golden brown and crispy.

Step 2: Season the sliced steak with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.

Step 4: Add the steak strips and sear for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5: Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet and sauté the sliced onions and bell peppers for 4–5 minutes until tender.

Step 6: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7: Add the soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine.

Step 8: Return the steak to the skillet and toss with the vegetables until heated through and coated in the sauce.

Step 9: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and sliced chili peppers.

Step 10: In a bowl, combine the lettuce, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 11: Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, then toss with the salad.

Step 12: Serve the pepper steak hot alongside the crispy fries and fresh salad.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover steak and vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Keep fries and salad separate to maintain their texture.

Reheat the steak mixture in a skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes or until warmed through.

For the crispiest results, reheat fries in an oven or air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 5–7 minutes.

Prepare the salad fresh when serving, as dressed salad does not store well.
