Creating Pepper Steak with Bell Peppers and Onion is easy if you follow these clear steps:
1. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, mix the sliced beef with soy sauce and cornstarch. Allow it to marinate for 15 minutes.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Beef: Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef to the pan. Stir-fry until the beef is browned and just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef and set it aside.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
5. Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine.
7. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix beef broth, oyster sauce, and sesame oil, then pour it over the beef and vegetables. Stir everything well.
8. Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.
9. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, as necessary.
10. Serve Hot: Remove from heat. Serve warm over cooked rice or noodles.
