Pepper Steak - Chinese American home cooked recipe

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This pepper steak recipe is a quick and easy stir-fry loaded with tender beef, peppers and onions in a brown sauce. It’s a must-try Chinese American restaurant classic! This pepper steak is different from a more traditional, Chinese homestyle dish like this one: thewoksoflife.com/beef-and-pe...
Most of the time required for this recipe is in the preparation, but it’s not actually difficult to pull off. So long as you have everything prepared and within reach, things will go smoothly at the wok! The active cooking time in your wok or pan is less than 10 minutes before it’s ready to be served with steamed white rice.

    Bob Ross of the wok. He makes it look so easy but you can tell he got some swagger in the kitchen just by looking at his body movements. This is actually one of my favorite dishes to order at Chinese take out. Now I know how to make it myself. Thank you.

    Thank you so very much for sharing your recipes and how to cook. Been looking for your kind of recipes which remind me of home.(Hawaii) I’ve tried many times to get taste and correct way of making foods that I’ve seen you make. When I get hungry for good Cantonese cooking I fly home get filled up and fly back. Again thank so very much for sharing. Aloha, Henry

    I just made this today. I got all the liquid bottles at my nearby Asian market along with jasmine rice and spent about $30. Another $10 for peppers, garlic, ginger, and steak. Turned out great but I think it had to much of the cooking wine in it. Something made it have a strong flavor. I will make it again for sure but cut back on the wine. I had jasmine rice with it. Yum.

    Hi Bill, I love these videos! Does having that really large wok (not sure the size, but looks 20"+) help reduce all the oil splatter on the stove? I have a 16" wok that I have had a long time, but I know splattering oil drives my dear wife nuts at times. Or possibly, I am just a really messy cook. :)

    2 tsp baking soda 2 lbs of beef sirloin or flank (20 min marination, then wash, and quickly dry; tenderizes and cleans beef) 1.5 tbsp corn starch (Apply to meat on its own first/mix in; help the sauce cling to meat and help with steak searing) 1/2 tsp ginger and 1 tsp garlic 2 tbsp high temp cooking oil black pepper (beef needs pepper) 1 tbsp honey (the sugar to enhance meat flavor and balance the black pepper) 1 tbsp oyster sauce (the salt to enhance meat flavor) (zero super wet ingredients + minimal water in meat helps frying/searing of beef) Max 2 min per side on high heat or medium high if gas. veggies 1 meaty mushroom (washed, dried and cut into 8 pieces or so) (optional) 1 or 2 onion (cook for 2 min then add the rest of veggies) green and red bell pepper 1/2 tsp ginger, 1 tsp garlic, 2 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp butter (to finish) sauce 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup low sodium chicken stock (adds complexity) 2 tbsp cornstarch (creates slurry which binds the sauce) 2 tbsp oyster sauce (gentle vehicle to help steak shine) 2 tsp low sodium soy sauce (helps with flavor development) 2 tsp dark soy sauce (helps with flavor development and color) 1 tbsp honey (to help balance the soy sauce) 1/8 tsp white pepper (to give unique pepper flavor) 1/4 cup Shaoxing wine (helps with flavor development and acidity without easily ruining the dish like rice vinegar can) Give it 3-5 minutes to come together, once desired consistency is achieved or nearly achieved re-add the beef and turn heat to min. Serve with Basmati or Jasmine fork flaked rice.

    Is there a link to the wok you are using? it looks like a large wok (size?), and looks more shallow instead of deep. I have been looking for one like that, but can’t find one. I love all your recipes!

    Catching up on some comments! It's a standard issue restaurant wok made of carbon steel. You can find one here at KK Discount a family-owned shop in NY Chinatown. Our size is quite large and those are sold out but you can find similar smaller ones that are good for home cooking in stock. You can probably find a wok like this at a Chinese restaurant supply if you have one where you live! www.kkdiscount.com/woks/

    Hello: I just became subscriber. I LOVE Chinese food and Pepper Steak is one of my favorites, BUT, I've always found that every restaurant leaves the meat way too chewy, and the peppers with too much crunch?? My mom used to make "Pepper Steak" and would serve it over rice. I'm very much a huge fan of Gravy and mom always made sure that there was plenty of gravy with the peppers. I suffered a stroke awhile back and no longer eat meat, but I still love the flavor of it, so when I make Pepper Steak, I do lots of peppers and gravy. My wife gets the steak.:~))) Thank you for this channel. I'll be here for a long time watching.:~)) God bless: Dave

    Hi, I would just leave it out. The wine will add a dimension of flavour, but even without the wine the dish will still be excellent.

    You could but it's best to find a very marbled piece as we sometimes find that beef chuck can be too lean and turn out tough. Read more about it here: thewoksoflife.com/prepare-beef-for-stir-fry/
