Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb flank steak
1 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 Tbsp rice wine
1/2 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 medium green bell peppers, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
4 oz mushrooms, sliced (optional)
any spicy chili, sliced (optional)
1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp oyster sauce
rice to serve

Steps:

  • 1. Slice flank steak against the grain in 1/4″ slices. For thicker parts of the flank steak, you may need to slice the strip in half so it's not too wide. In a medium bowl, mix beef with soy sauce, rice wine, and sugar. Set aside for 15 minutes.
  • 2. While beef is marinating, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or similar on high. Add peppers, mushrooms if using and onions with a sprinkle of salt. Stir and fry for a minute, and remove from heat and set aside. The peppers should still be crisp. After the peppers rest for a few minutes, they will excrete some liquid (amount varies with different peppers). Drain and discard the liquid. When beef has rested 15 minutes and peppers are ready, mix cornstarch into marinated beef.
  • 3. Heat 2 tablespoons oil on high in a wok or similar. Add beef and stir quickly, separating the slices. When beef has started turning color with some pink spots remaining, add vegetarian oyster sauce. Stir quickly to distribute. Add peppers back in. Give a few good tosses and serve with rice immediately.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover beef. I always have some in the freezer, so this is a great recipe to have on hand.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the red pepper flakes. The dish was still delicious.

This Chinese Beef and Peppers dish was a hit with my family! The sauce was flavorful and the beef was tender. I served it over rice and everyone went back for seconds.
