Sizzling Chinese Pepper Steak with Onions

Bold • Savory • Flash-Cooked • Better Than Takeout

This Sizzling Chinese Pepper Steak with Onions is a fast, flavorful, restaurant-style stir-fry made right in your kitchen. Tender slices of flank steak, crisp bell peppers, caramelized onions, and a glossy, savory sauce that coats every bite — it’s everything you crave from Asian takeout, but fresher and even more delicious.

The aroma alone gets people to the table fast… and the dish disappears even faster.


A Short History

Chinese pepper steak originated from Cantonese cuisine, particularly the stir-fry tradition of quick searing over high heat. When Chinese immigrants brought their cooking techniques to the United States, they adapted classic dishes to available ingredients — like beef, onions, and bell peppers — creating the beloved Chinese-American pepper steak we know today.

It’s flavorful, fast, simple, and perfect for weeknight cooking.


Ingredients

For the Steak

  • 1 lb flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

For the Vegetables

  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1–2 bell peppers (red or green), sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced

For the Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper (or more!)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (to thicken)

Optional Add-Ins

  • Sesame seeds
  • Green onions
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Chili oil

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steak

Combine sliced steak with soy sauce, cornstarch, and a drizzle of oil.
Let marinate 10–15 minutes.

2. Sear the Steak

Heat a large skillet or wok until very hot.
Add steak in a single layer.
Stir-fry 2–3 minutes until browned.
Remove and set aside.

3. Cook the Vegetables

Add onions, peppers, garlic, and ginger to the pan.
Stir-fry 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.

4. Make the Sauce

Whisk together soy sauce, hoisin, oyster sauce, broth, sugar, vinegar, pepper, and cornstarch.

5. Combine Everything

Add steak back into the wok.
Pour in the sauce.
Cook 1–2 minutes until sizzling, glossy, and thick.

6. Serve

Enjoy with steamed rice, noodles, or even lettuce wraps.


Methods

Method 1 — Slow Cooker Version

Add steak, onions, peppers, garlic, ginger, and sauce.
Cook low 4–5 hours.
Add cornstarch slurry at the end to thicken.

Method 2 — Air Fryer Steak Version

Air fry steak strips at 400°F for 6–8 minutes.
Stir-fry veggies and sauce separately.
Combine at the end.

Method 3 — Spicy Version

Add chili oil, fresh chilies, or Szechuan peppercorns.

Method 4 — Keto/Low-Carb Version

Replace sugar with monk fruit.
Serve over cauliflower rice.


Formation / How This Dish Works

  • Thinly sliced steak cooks fast and stays tender.
  • Cornstarch coating creates velvety texture and helps sauce cling.
  • High heat caramelizes onions and peppers for smoky depth.
  • Soy, hoisin, and oyster sauces create the perfect umami balance.
  • Starch + heat form that glossy, restaurant-style finish.

Every step builds flavor and texture — the key to perfect stir fry.
