Prep Time

Prepping for this recipe is quick and easy. Plan on spending about 20 minutes to chop your vegetables and slice your beef into thin strips.

Cook Time

The actual cooking time for this dish is only about 10-15 minutes, making it a great option for weeknight dinners when you're short on time.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 onion, sliced thinly
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 cups cooked rice, for serving

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside. 2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the sliced beef and cook for 3-4 minutes, until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside. 3. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until softened. Add the sliced bell peppers and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened. 4. Return the beef to the skillet and pour the sauce over the top. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the beef and vegetables are coated. 5. Serve the pepper steak over a bed of cooked rice.

Notes

To make this recipe even easier, you can use pre-sliced beef stir-fry strips instead of slicing your own flank steak. You can also use a pre-made stir-fry sauce instead of making your own. If you don't have any beef broth on hand, you can substitute chicken or vegetable broth instead. For a spicier version of this recipe, add more red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce.

Recipe Tips

Make sure to slice your beef against the grain, which will help keep it tender and juicy. For best results, use a large skillet or wok to cook the beef and vegetables. This will help ensure that everything cooks evenly and the sauce thickens properly. Don't overcook the vegetables - you want them to be slightly softened but still have some crunch. Serve this dish with a side of steamed broccoli or a salad for a well-rounded meal.
