Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

12 ounces flank steak ((sliced into thin strips))
¼ teaspoon baking soda ((optional tenderizer))
2 teaspoons soy sauce
½ teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons oil
3 cloves garlic ((sliced))
8 long hot green peppers ((de-seeded and julienned into 3-inch/8cm strips))
1 long hot red pepper ((de-seeded and julienned into 3-inch/8cm strips))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
¼ cup chicken stock ((optional))

Steps:

Add all the marinade ingredients to the beef in a bowl, mix well, and set aside for 30 minutes at room temperature.
When you're ready to cook, place a wok over high heat until it's almost smoking, then add the oil. Sear the beef until it's just browned but still a little rare. Turn off the heat while you transfer the beef to a separate bowl. Leave any oil/fat in the wok.
Heat the wok back up over medium-high heat and add the garlic and peppers. Stir-fry for 20 seconds, then spread the Shaoxing wine around the wok to de-glaze it.
Stir-fry for another 20 seconds and add the beef back to the wok along with any juices from the bowl. Add salt, sugar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and white pepper. Turn the heat back up to high and stir-fry for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the peppers turn darker.
If you like more sauce, add the chicken stock to further de-glaze the wok and reduce the liquid slightly. The cornstarch from the marinade will help thicken the sauce. Plate and serve immediately with rice.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef: flank steak or skirt steak are good choices because they are thin and cook quickly. You can also use chicken or shrimp if you prefer.
Slice the beef against the grain: this will help to tenderize the meat and make it more flavorful.
Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes: this will help to infuse the meat with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
Use a hot wok or skillet: this will help to sear the meat and prevent it from sticking.
Cook the beef in batches: this will help to prevent the meat from overcrowding the pan and steaming instead of searing.
Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: this will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked.
Serve the stir-fry immediately: this is when it is at its best. You can garnish it with green onions, sesame seeds, or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Lemon pepper beef stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to use up leftover beef, and it is also a healthy and affordable option. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and impressive stir-fry that your whole family will love.
