Description
A quick and flavorful Sizzling Pepper Steak with Onions recipe that features tender beef strips sautéed with vibrant bell peppers and onions in a savory soy garlic sauce, perfect for a satisfying weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Beef and Marinade
- 1 lb beef steak (such as flank or sirloin), thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables and Seasonings
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, preparing it for cooking the beef.
- Cook the beef: Add the thinly sliced beef to the hot skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Once browned, remove the beef from the pan and set it aside to avoid overcooking.
- Sauté vegetables and garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic, sliced bell pepper, and onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables become tender and fragrant.
- Combine beef and sauce: Return the beef to the skillet, pour in soy sauce, and stir everything together. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld and the beef heat through.
- Season and serve: Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately while sizzling hot for a delicious meal experience.
Notes
- For best results, use flank or sirloin steak, sliced thinly against the grain.
- You can adjust soy sauce quantity to taste or substitute with tamari for gluten-free options.
- Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicy kick.
- Serve with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
- Ensure vegetables retain some crispness for texture contrast.
