Ingredients

1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced

1 large bell pepper, sliced

1 onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the sliced beef sirloin and cook until browned on all sides, about 5–7 minutes.

Add minced garlic, sliced onion, and bell pepper. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

Pour in soy sauce and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Remove from heat and serve the pepper steak hot over cooked rice.

Notes

For best results, slice the beef thinly against the grain.

Use red, green, or yellow bell peppers—or a mix—for added color and flavor.

Add a splash of oyster sauce or hoisin for extra umami depth.

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
