🕰️ A Little History of Pepper Steak
Pepper Steak is a Chinese-American classic inspired by Cantonese stir-fry techniques. Traditional dishes often focused on quick cooking over high heat, tender slices of beef, and simple sauces that highlight natural flavors. When this style reached American kitchens, bell peppers and onions became popular additions, creating the iconic Pepper Steak we know and love today.
It’s a perfect example of how global flavors adapt and thrive—fast, comforting, and full of balance.
