How to make Pepper Steak Stir Fry
Step 1: In a large pan, heat 1 tsp vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the peppers to the pan and saute for about 3 to 4 minutes until just tender. To a plate, transfer the peppers when done.
Step 2: In the same pan, add the rest of the oil. To taste, season the flank steak with salt and pepper. Now, adjust the heat to high and add the steak to the pan. Sear the steak for about 5 to 6 minutes or until lightly browned. Then, add the garlic and ginger. Continue to cook for another 30 seconds.
Step 3: Return the cooked peppers to the pan.
Step 4: Place the soy sauce, sugar, 1/4 c water, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Stir well and pour this over the steak mixture. Let everything simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the sauce has just thickened.
Step 5: Remove from the heat when done and serve the Pepper Steak Stir Fry right away. Enjoy!
