Description
A delicious and flavorful Sizzling Chinese Pepper Steak with Onions, perfect for a quick meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a soy-free option)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon water
- Salt to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat up.
- In a bowl, combine the sliced flank steak, soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss to coat the steak evenly and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
- Add the marinated steak to the hot skillet in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes without stirring, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Return the steak to the skillet, add the apple cider vinegar and water, and stir everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider marinating the steak for a few hours or overnight.
- You can substitute the flank steak with sirloin or ribeye for a different texture.
- For a more colorful dish, add additional vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms.
