🔍 METHODS — Why It Works So Well
✔ Cornstarch gives steak a velvet texture
This is a classic Chinese technique called velveting.
✔ High heat = restaurant-style stir-fry
Quick cooking keeps steak tender instead of chewy.
✔ Onion + pepper combination
Creates mild sweetness against the savory sauce.
✔ Sauce thickens beautifully
Coats the steak and veggies like authentic takeout.
📜 HISTORY — The Story Behind Pepper Steak
Pepper steak originated as a Chinese-American adaptation of a Cantonese dish called “Chao La Zi Niu” (stir-fried beef with peppers). It became popular in the U.S. in the mid-1900s because it:
used affordable cuts of beef
cooked quickly
paired perfectly with rice
satisfied cravings for bold, savory flavors
It’s now a staple in countless Chinese takeout restaurants.
