Strips of tender steak are marinated in a homemade sauce and stir-fried with sautéed bell peppers and onions.
Ingredients for Pepper Steak
Beef: Top round is my favorite cut of beef for this pepper steak recipe but flank steak and top sirloin steak are other great options. Prepare the meat for cooking by slicing it against the grain to break down the fibers and help tenderize it. Veggies: Green and red bell peppers give a pop of color, but any peppers will taste great. Yellow, white, or red onion slices add some crunch and flavor. Sauce: Fresh ginger and garlic are recommended for the best flavor. Soy sauce, Worcestershire, and honey for sweetness round out the sauce. Mirin is a rice wine and while it’s optional, it adds great flavor.
Variations
Try adding asparagus, baby corn, snap peas, or sliced carrots. Add chili paste or sriracha for more heat. Substitute honey for white or brown sugar.

What to Serve with Pepper Steak
Serve over ramen noodles, rice, egg noodles, or cauliflower rice. Side dishes like garlic bok choy, asparagus, or Szechuan green beans are always a hit. For a cool crisp salad, try bean sprout salad or easy Asian slaw!
