How to make Green Pepper Steak
Step 1: Over the sliced steak, pour 2 tbsp soy sauce and sugar. Allow the steak to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
Step 2: In the meantime, whisk the cornstarch, beef broth, and the remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce in a small bowl or 2 cups and measure until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3: In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add half of the beef and cook until the edges are browned. Flip and continue to cook the other side for another 2 minutes. To a plate, transfer the beef and keep them warm. Do the same with another tbsp oil and sliced beef.
Step 4: Into the pan, add the last tbsp of oil. Then, add the bell pepper along with the onions and black pepper. Saute for about 5 to 8 minutes until the veggies are slightly charred and crisp-tender.
Step 5: Adjust the heat to medium. Then, add the garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes (optional). Cook for about a minute, stirring constantly until the garlic is aromatic.
Step 6: To the pan, add the beef back along with any accumulated juices. Pour in the beef broth mixture and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Next, gently fold in the tomatoes.
Step 7: Take off the heat and serve the green pepper steak right away garnished with black pepper and parsley. Enjoy over hot cooked rice.
