🥩🌶️ Sizzling Chinese Pepper Steak with Onions
A bold, classic stir-fry that tastes better than takeout
This dish is all about high heat, big flavor, and tender beef. Thinly sliced flank steak is quickly seared, tossed with onions and peppers, and coated in a savory, peppery sauce that clings to every bite. It’s fast, comforting, and always a crowd-pleaser.
📜 A Little History
Pepper steak comes from Chinese-American cuisine, inspired by traditional Chinese stir-fry techniques. When Chinese cooks adapted recipes for Western kitchens, dishes like pepper steak became popular for their simplicity, speed, and bold flavors. Today, it’s a takeout favorite — and even better homemade.

👩🍳 Method of Preparation

Return beef to the pan. Add beef broth, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and dark soy sauce. - Sizzle to finish
Cook 1–2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats everything beautifully.
