Black Pepper Steak with Peppers and Onions

Here’s a delicious recipe for Black Pepper Steak with Peppers and Onions:

Ingredients:

• For the Marinade:
  • 1 lb (450g) beef steak (sirloin, ribeye, or flank), thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• For the Stir-Fry:
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup beef broth or water (optional for more sauce)
  • Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef:
   • In a bowl, combine the beef slices with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the beef evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
2. Prepare the Stir-Fry:
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.
   • Add the marinated beef slices in a single layer and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
   • In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
   • Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Combine and Finish:
   • Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables.
   • Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, freshly ground black pepper, and sugar. If you prefer a saucier dish, add the beef broth or water at this point.
   • Stir-fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through.
4. Serve:
   • Transfer the Black Pepper Steak with Peppers and Onions to a serving dish.
   • Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
   • Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
