Creating Sizzling Chinese Pepper Steak with Onions is simple when you follow these steps:
- Prep the Steak: Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips. This ensures the meat will be tender when cooked.
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, black pepper, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
- Stir-Fry the Beef: Add the marinated beef to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until browned, then stir and continue cooking until fully cooked (about 2-3 additional minutes). Remove the beef and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the vegetables and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Combine: Return the cooked beef to the pan with the vegetables. Drizzle sesame oil over the mixture, stirring everything together for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot over a bed of cooked rice if desired.
