Pepper Steak Stir Fry

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, beef broth, and sesame oil until smooth.

Step 2: Season the beef strips with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

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

Step 4: Add the beef strips in batches and sear for 2 to 3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 5: Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the onions and bell peppers for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 6: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7: Return the beef to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture.

Step 8: Toss everything together and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.

Step 9: Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles if desired.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover pepper steak stir fry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until warmed through.

Add a splash of water or broth while reheating if the sauce becomes too thick.

For best texture, avoid overcooking the vegetables during reheating.
