Stir-Fry Vegetables
Combine and Finish
Add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a few sliced red chilies along with the garlic and ginger for a spicy kick.
This recipe works wonderfully with thinly sliced chicken thighs, pork loin, or firm tofu. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
Incorporate other vegetables like broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms, or snow peas. Add heartier vegetables like broccoli a minute or two before the peppers.
Add 1 tablespoon of Shaoxing wine (Chinese cooking wine) to the sauce for a more authentic and complex flavor profile.
Beef is a complete protein, providing all the essential amino acids necessary for building and repairing muscle tissue, supporting metabolic function, and maintaining overall body strength.
Bell peppers are packed with Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that boosts the immune system. Beef is a great source of iron for oxygen transport and B vitamins, especially B12, for energy production and nerve health.

A typical serving of this Pepper Steak Stir-Fry contains approximately 480-550 calories, not including rice. The exact number can vary based on the fat content of the beef and the amount of oil used.
Yes, it can be a very balanced and healthy meal. It's high in protein, rich in vitamins from the bell peppers, and can be made healthier by using a lean cut of beef, low-sodium soy sauce, and serving it with brown rice or quinoa.
Absolutely. To make it gluten-free, simply replace the soy sauce with tamari or a certified gluten-free soy sauce. You should also verify that your brand of oyster sauce is gluten-free, as some contain wheat.
Flank steak is the classic choice for its robust flavor and texture. Sirloin, skirt steak, and flat iron steak are also excellent alternatives. The most important technique is to slice any cut thinly against the grain for tenderness.
Tough beef in a stir-fry is usually caused by one of two things: slicing with the grain instead of against it, or overcooking. Sear the beef very quickly over high heat and then return it to the pan only at the very end to be coated in the sauce. It should cook for no more than a final minute or two.
