Best Chinese Pepper Steak Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound beef top sirloin steak
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch squares
• 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
• 2 tomatoes, cut into wedges

Instructions

1. Cut the steak into 1/2-inch thick slices, working against the grain.
2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and ginger, whisking until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Add the steak slices to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak strips in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, ensuring each piece is in contact with the hot oil. Cook and stir until the steak is nicely browned, approximately 3 minutes. Remove the cooked steak from the wok and place it in a bowl. Repeat this process with the remaining steak, adding more oil if needed, then set the cooked meat aside.
4. Return the cooked steak strips to the hot wok, then add the onion and stir. Toss the steak and onion together until the onion starts to soften, about 2 minutes, then add the green pepper.
5. Continue to cook and stir the mixture until the peppers turn a vibrant green and begin to become tender, approximately 2 minutes more, then add the tomatoes.
6. Stir all ingredients together to ensure they are well mixed and the flavors are blended. Serve immediately.
