Chinese Pepper Steak

---

This is a simple recipe my mom used to serve often over garlic rice.

Marinade:

• 2 Tbsp minced garlic
• 1 Tbsp minced ginger
• 3 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Ingredients:

• 1 lb steak (flank, inside round), sliced thinly
• 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
• 3 green peppers, large diced
• 1 sweet onion, large diced
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1/2 c cold water

Directions:

1. Combine the marinade ingredients in a small bowl then pour over the sliced steak. Mix together then cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to overnight.

1. When ready to cook, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch and water in a small measuring cup and set aside.
2. Heat 1 Tbsp of the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the steak and the marinade, cooking until browned. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
3. Heat the other Tbsp of olive in the pan. Add the green peppers and onions and stir-fry quickly over high heat. Add the steak back in.
4. Add soy sauce and cornstarch mixture and cook a couple of minutes until the sauce has thickened.
5. Serve over garlic rice.
