Chinese stir-fried steak with peppers
This dish is a speciality of mine. A quick, yet delicious meal made from everyday items in your kitchen cupboards. The steak is stir-fried with onions and peppers, a perfect dinner when served with freshly boiled rice.

- Slice the steak into 1cm thick slices across the grain.
- Whisk together soy sauce, sugar, cornflour and ginger in a bowl, until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved. Place the steak slices into the marinade, stir until well-coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Place one-third of the steak strips into the hot oil. Cook and stir until the beef is well-browned, about 3 minutes and remove the beef from the wok to a bowl. Repeat twice more, with the remaining beef. Set the cooked beef aside.
- Return all the cooked beef to the hot wok, stir in the onion. Toss the beef and onion together until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes, then stir in the green pepper. Cook and stir the mixture until the pepper has turned bright green and started to become tender, about 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes, stir everything together and serve.

Made it without marinading...just threw everything together after browning the steak strips in the oil. I doubled all the other ingredients and completely forgot to add the tomatoes. (the main reason I chose this recipe) Still Delicious! Oh, I did use fresh ginger that I was trying to use up instead of ground. - 01 Feb 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This recipe immediately went into my recipe box! Will definitely make it again. My dinner plans changed so the meat marinated for 24+ hours and was very delicious - I would recommend marinating at least a few hours or overnight. I only used red & yellow bell pepper and green onions because I had no fresh tomato. Added garlic and crushed red pepper for extra kick. - 06 May 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This was the best pepper steak recipe I've tried! I gave 4 stars though because I added garlic and didn't use tomatoes, but that's just a personal preference for me. - 18 Mar 2012 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
