Chinese Pepper Steak
A delicious pepper steak recipe served with boiled white rice — easy and made from items I've already got in my cupboards. My mother clipped this recipe from somewhere and it became a specialty of mine; however, I've been unable to find the original source.

Ingredients
-
1 pound beef top sirloin steak
-
¼ cup soy sauce
-
2 tablespoons white sugar
-
2 tablespoons cornstarch
-
½ teaspoon ground ginger
-
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
-
1 red onion, cut into 1-inch squares
-
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
-
2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
Directions
-
Slice steak into 1/2-inch thick slices across the grain.
-
Whisk together soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and ginger in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Place steak slices into the marinade, and stir until well-coated.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook steak strips in batches in hot oil so as not to crowd the pan. Cook and stir until well-browned, about 3 minutes, and remove steak from the wok to a bowl. Repeat with remaining steak, adding more oil as needed, and set the cooked meat aside.
-
Return cooked steak strips to the hot wok, and stir in onion. Toss steak and onion together until onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes, then stir in green pepper.
-
Cook and stir the mixture until peppers have turned bright green and started to become tender, about 2 minutes more, then add tomatoes.
-
Stir everything together to mix and blend flavors, and serve.
