🛒 INGREDIENTS

  • 1½ lbs flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 bell peppers (green, red, or mixed), sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

🔥 HOW TO MAKE CHINESE PEPPER STEAK WITH ONION

1️⃣ Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain. Place in a bowl and toss with 1½ tablespoons soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.

2️⃣ Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and stir-fry until just browned. Remove beef and set aside.

3️⃣ In the same pan, add onion and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.

4️⃣ Add garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

5️⃣ Return beef to the pan. Stir in oyster sauce, remaining soy sauce, and beef broth.

6️⃣ Cook for 2–3 more minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats everything beautifully.

7️⃣ Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper if needed.

🍚 HOW TO SERVE

Serve hot over:

  • Steamed white rice
  • Jasmine or brown rice
  • Fried rice or lo mein noodles

Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.

🌶 TIPS & VARIATIONS

  • Use sirloin or skirt steak if flank isn’t available
  • Add sliced mushrooms or snow peas for extra veggies
  • Like heat? Add red pepper flakes or chili oil
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan — cook beef in batches if needed
