Easy Pepper Steak
This easy pepper steak stir-fry is full of great flavor!
Ingredients
Marinade Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. corn starch
- 1/8 tsp. coarsely-ground black pepper (or more/less to taste)
Pepper Steak Ingredients:
- 1 lb. thinly sliced flank steak or sirloin, cut diagonally across the grain into thin strips
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 12 mini sweet peppers, thinly sliced (or 2 regular-sized bell peppers, thinly sliced)
- 2 scallions, sliced diagonally into 1 inch pieces, white and green pieces separated
- 2 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
To Make The Marinade:
- Add all marinade ingredients to a large bowl or ziplock bag, and stir to combine. Add the sliced steak, and toss in the marinade. Cover/seal and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
To Make The Pepper Steak:
- Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the sweet peppers and white part of the scallions, ginger, garlic, and saute for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to the saute pan. Remove half the steak from the marinade with a slotted spoon (reserving the marinade) and saute about 2-3 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally. Transfer steak to plate with the veggies. Saute the remaining steak, then transfer to plate.
- Add the reserved marinade to the skillet and cook for 1 minute or until thickened. Add the steak, veggies and green parts of the scallions to the skillet, and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat.
- Serve immediately over rice or quinoa.

I’m not even a beef eater anymore but I had a hankering for some pepper steak and this recipe empressed!!! All the flavors melted together like heaven in a cast iron skillet! I’ll remake the sauce just for my veggies! My friend (a bachelor) was absolutely smitten with this dish! Gimme some more oven please! :-)
Thanks for posting. Ginger is the secret huh? Hey, when your body gets used to a certain eating habit, time is irrelevant. Coming to your state soon. Fed up w/TX sticking head in dirt about harmless plant that was put here for our enjoyment. Until I can do this, I will never feel truly free. Have maintained this since the 60s. Insert a confused,angry,and anxious “emijo” or whatever you penned it to be.
Love the recipe. Looking forward to making it 1 day. All you did was cause me to spend $11.00 on lunch for My good friend and I @ General Wok Was stoned and thinking of something to cook for lunch.
I have been making pepper steak from my mom’s and grandmothers recipe for over 40 years, for a change I tried a new one tonight–yours. It was delicious, No it was fabulous. My husband loved it too. I served it over quinoa for me, rice for him. I will be using this recipe from now on. Thanks for sharing!!
Just made this for dinner and it was a hit! Thank you so much for the recipe
Stumbled here after googling mini peppers. LOVE the name of your blog. Bit of a sucker for cute. ;)
The recipe looks really easy and I might just get off my lazy bum and make it! Great stuff, thank you! :)
Made this for dinner the other night, had to make a couple changes such as using a sweet white onion instead of scallions cause I was out and ground ginger instead of fresh, but got to tell you “this was awesome”. Everyone raved about it and hubby said it was a definite “make again”. Thanks so much for sharing! Found on pinterest.
Found this on Pinterset and made it tonight. Just had to come and say how delicious and easy. Made mine with couscous, it was perfect. Thank you!
Yum! I made this for my boyfriend. He loved it! It was so easy too! I posted it on my blog, giving you credit of course. :-) Thanks!
