THE BEST PEPPER STEAK
Pepper steak is a Chinese-American stir-fry dish that coats tender sliced steak and crisp-tender bell peppers in a deeply savory and slightly sweet sauce. We used flank steak here, but it is equally delicious with skirt or flap steak. No matter the cut, make sure to slice it thinly across the grain to ensure the meat is tender in the final dish. We tested bell peppers cut into a variety of sizes and found that one-inch pieces worked best, yielding peppers cooked to the perfect doneness (not too snappy but not at all mushy).

Steps:
- Freeze the flank steak until the meat is slightly frozen and firm enough to thinly slice with ease, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Finely grate 2 cloves of the garlic into a large bowl. Peel the ginger and cut it in half. Finely grate one of the ginger halves into the same bowl; reserve the remaining ginger. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of the Shaoxing wine, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the sugar and several large grinds of pepper to combine. Set aside.
- Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain on a very slight bias into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Cut any extra-long pieces in half; the strips should be no longer than 3 to 4 inches. Add to the bowl with the marinade and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- About 30 minutes before finishing the dish, use tongs to transfer the steak to a large baking sheet lined with several layers of paper towels and arrange in a single layer. Lay additional paper towels on top to help absorb any excess marinade. Set aside to take the chill off the meat.
- Whisk together the beef broth, sesame oil, remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce, remaining 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar and a couple large grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Finely mince the remaining 2 cloves garlic and add to a small bowl. Finely mince the remaining ginger and add to the same bowl. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add a third of the steak strips in a single layer and cook until well-browned on the first side, about 1 minute. Flip and cook until browned on the second side, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a large plate. Cook the remaining steak in 2 additional batches, adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of canola oil per batch. Transfer to the plate.
- Lower the heat to medium high. Add the onion and a splash of water to the empty skillet and cook, scraping up any browned bits and stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the red and green bell peppers and cook, stirring frequently and adding another splash of water if the skillet starts to get too brown on the bottom, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until softened, about 1 minute.
- Return the steak to the skillet and stir to combine. Whisk the cornstarch into the sauce, then pour it into the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thick and glossy, about 2 minutes. Transfer the pepper steak to a large serving platter and top with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with a side of steamed rice.
ITALIAN PEPPER STEAK STIR FRY
Colorful, flavorful, and easy to make! I got this recipe from Better Homes and Garden's "Great Cooking for Two." I didn't have cornstarch so I used the same measurement of all-purpose flour, and I skipped the white wine altogether. It was still great!

Judy Brown of Rockdale, Texas makes her own picante sauce for this beefy dish, but she suggests you can also use a store-bought brand. "My husband doesn't care for Asian food," Judy writes, "but he likes this great dish with its Mexican flair."

STEAK STIR-FRY
I got this recipe years ago from Quick Cooking magazine. I like to add extra veggies, such as broccoli and red pepper. I usually serve it over steamed brown rice, but could also serve over lo mein noodles for a change. I usually use round steak for the meat, as it's usually more affordable than sirloin. I also use wok oil for the extra flavor but vegetable oil could also be used. If a time saver is needed, frozen stir fry veggies could also be used in place of fresh.

ITALIAN PEPPER STEAK
I was having a huge steak craving, but it's like the world was consipring against me--the restaurants nearby had both run out of beef! So I pulled this recipe from TOH and decided to resolve the issue in my own kitchen. I didn't have many leftovers, even though I was the only one eating it. And I got jealous glares from everyone who had to smell the heated leftovers in our small office the next day.
