Pro Tips for Mastering Pepper Steak
- Slice Against the Grain: Cut the beef sirloin against the grain to ensure each piece is tender and easy to chew.
- Marinate for Extra Flavor: Although not required, marinating the beef in the soy sauce mixture for an hour before cooking can deepen the flavors.
- High Heat for Quick Cooking: Cook the beef over medium-high heat to sear it quickly, locking in the juices and flavor.
- Don’t Overcook the Vegetables: Sauté the bell peppers and onions just until they are tender but still crisp to maintain their texture and vibrant color.
- Let the Sauce Thicken: Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken to coat the beef and vegetables well, enhancing the dish’s overall taste and appeal.
