Served over steamed rice (or noodles), it’s a quick and satisfying meal that’s as vibrant as it is delicious.
Asian-Style Pepper Steak
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak, cut into 1/4 inch thick strips
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp red wine
- 4 tbsp peanut oil
- 1 large onion, julienned
- 1 medium red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 medium green bell pepper, julienned
- 3 medium green onions, chopped

- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/3 cup red wine
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp ginger, fresh, minced or grated
Instructions
- Make Sauce: In a small bowl whisk all the sauce ingredients together and set aside.
- Marinade: Add the beef, 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp red wine to a bowl, toss everything together and let it sit for 10 minutes to marinade.
- Cook Beef: Add the peanut oil to a wok and heat over high heat. The wok needs to be quite hot before adding the beef to it. Add the beef to the hot wok and cook for about 3 min over high heat until it's lightly charred.
