Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Ribeye steak Cut into 2-inch long thin slices for tenderness.
  • 1 red bell pepper Chopped into bite-size pieces for sweetness.
  • 1 green bell pepper Chopped into bite-size pieces for freshness.
  • 1 medium white onion Chopped into bite-size pieces to add depth of flavor.
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil Divided in half for cooking the steak and vegetables.
  • 3 cloves garlic Minced to enhance the aroma and taste of the dish.
  • 1 tsp black pepper Adds a kick of spice to balance the flavors.
  • ½ tsp ginger Minced to provide warmth and zest.
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar To add a hint of sweetness that complements the savory elements.
  • cup soy sauce For umami flavor, bringing everything together beautifully.
  • cups beef broth Helps create a rich, flavorful sauce base.
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar Adds acidity to brighten up the dish.
  • 1 tsp sesame oil For a nutty finish that enhances overall flavor.
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch To thicken the sauce perfectly.

Method
 

  1. Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced ribeye steak and cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until it turns lightly browned on the outside but remains tender inside. Once done, remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
  2. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil followed by the chopped red and green bell peppers along with the white onion. Sauté these vegetables for approximately 3-4 minutes until they soften but still retain some crunch, adding color and freshness to your dish.
  3. Now it's time to reunite your cooked steak with the sautéed peppers and onions in the skillet. Mix them well so that all ingredients are evenly distributed before moving on to prepare your sauce.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, combine minced garlic, black pepper, ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, beef broth, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch; stir until everything is well blended together into a smooth mixture.
  5. Pour this flavorful sauce over your meat and vegetable mixture in the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Allow it to cook for about 4-5 minutes until you notice that the sauce has thickened nicely, coating all ingredients perfectly.
  6. Finally, serve your delicious pepper steak hot over steamed rice while garnishing with sesame seeds if desired! Enjoy this delightful meal that rivals any Chinese takeout experience!
