Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Vegetables
- 1 lb beef steak (such as flank or sirloin), thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce and Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the beef.
- Cook the beef: Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Once browned, remove the beef from the pan and set aside to keep warm.
- Sauté vegetables: Using the same skillet, add the minced garlic, sliced bell pepper, and sliced onion. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables become tender yet retain some crispness.
- Combine beef and sauce: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the soy sauce and stir everything together, allowing the flavors to meld while cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
- Season and serve: Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the sizzling pepper steak hot immediately for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- For more heat, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when sautéing the vegetables.
- Thinly slicing the beef against the grain ensures tenderness.
- Substitute soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option.
- Serve with steamed rice or noodles to make a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
