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.

This was absolutely fantastic! My boyfriend and I loved it! We will definitely make this again. Thanks! :)
Thanks Sarah, glad you guys enjoyed this!
I have made this several times. I have to say last time was the best. I used low sodium soy sauce, regular onions that I sauted with the peppers and I added some Sweet Baby Rays terriyaki marinade to the dish when I added the meat marinade at the end, tomight I will use green onions. I never use the ginger because I never have it in hand. The dish always gets rave reviews even from my kids. Those sweet peppers as opposed to green are just so much better.
Another great recipe, thanks! I will certainly be making this again and again! Healthy and delicious is always a win!

I made this for dinner tonight and it was pretty great. I am not a big fan of fresh ginger flavor so I halved the amount of that, and I added fresh shitake mushrooms. Served with white rice and a roasted baby bok choy. Thanks for the great dinner!
Made tonight for dinner and it was so good. Family LOVED it! I used white onion instead of green and added red pepper flakes to marinade. Going to try it with chicken next time. Glad I stumbled onto your site.
Tried this tonight for dinner… super easy and delicious! Thank you so much!
