  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Stir-Fry Vegetables

  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

For the Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ cup beef broth or water
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (for thickening)

Optional Add-Ins

  • Mushrooms
  • Broccoli
  • Green onions for garnish

🔥🥣 Methods & Instructions

1. Marinate the Steak

  • Combine sliced steak with soy sauce, cornstarch, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and pepper.
  • Let sit for 15–20 minutes — this makes it tender and glossy.

2. Prepare the Sauce

Whisk together:

  • soy sauce
  • hoisin
  • oyster sauce
  • sugar
  • beef broth
  • cornstarch

Set aside.

3. Sear the Steak

  1. Heat oil in a hot wok or skillet.
  2. Cook steak in batches so it sears instead of steaming.
  3. Remove from pan when browned.

4. Stir-Fry the Veggies

  1. Add onions to the pan and cook until slightly softened.
  2. Add garlic + ginger — cook until fragrant.
  3. Add bell peppers and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes.

5. Bring It All Together

  1. Return steak to the pan.
  2. Pour sauce over everything.
  3. Stir for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything glazes beautifully.

6. Serve Hot

Over:

  • Steamed rice
  • Fried rice
  • Noodles
  • Or enjoy on its own

Finish with green onions or sesame seeds.

📜 History of Pepper Steak

Pepper Steak originated as an American-Chinese twist on classic Cantonese stir-fries. While traditional Chinese dishes often focus on quick cooking of vegetables and small pieces of meat, American versions introduced beefier cuts with bolder sauces.

By the 1940s–50s, Chinese-American restaurants across the U.S. made pepper steak a signature dish — flavorful, quick, and perfect for Western tastes while still honoring its Asian roots.

🔬 Formation: Why This Dish Works

1. Cutting Against the Grain

Ensures tender, melt-in-your-mouth beef.

2. Quick Marinating

Cornstarch + soy = glossy coating and softness.

3. High Heat Cooking

Creates the iconic “sizzle” and locks in juiciness.

4. Balanced Sauce

Savory (soy) + sweet (sugar/hoisin) + umami (oyster sauce) = perfection.

Pepper steak succeeds because it blends simplicity with explosive flavor.
