Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing your beef strips thinly against the grain, ensuring they are tender. In a medium bowl, combine the beef with soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the meat evenly, then let it marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of your chosen oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add thinly sliced onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Increase the heat to high and add the marinated beef to the wok. Sear the beef for about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently until browned and cooked through.
  4. While the beef is cooking, prepare the sauce in a bowl by combining soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and oyster sauce.
  5. Once the beef is cooked, mix in your sliced bell peppers along with the prepared sauce, letting it cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  6. Carefully plate your Sizzling Chinese Pepper Steak with Onions over a bed of hot steamed rice or crispy noodles.
