Best Oriental Beef With Peppers Recipes

CHINESE PEPPER STEAK

Steps:

• Slice the 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 the steak slices into the marinade, and stir until well-coated.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, and place 1/3 of the steak strips into the hot oil. Cook and stir until the beef is well-browned, about 3 minutes, and remove the beef from the wok to a bowl. Repeat twice more, with the remaining beef, and set the cooked beef aside.
• Return all the cooked beef to the hot wok, and stir in the onion. Toss the beef and onion together until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes, then stir in the green pepper. Cook and stir the mixture until the pepper has turned bright green and started to become tender, about 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes, stir everything together, and serve.

ASIAN STYLE PEPPER STEAK

Steps:

• Make Sauce: In a small bowl whisk all the sauce ingredients together and set aside.
• Marinade: Add the beef, 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp red wine to a bowl, toss everything together and let it sit for 10 minutes to marinade.
• Cook Beef: Add the peanut oil to a wok and heat over high heat. The wok needs to be quite hot before adding the beef to it. Add the beef to the hot wok and cook for about 3 min over high heat until it's lightly charred.
• Cook Veggies: Push the beef to the side of the wok and add the onion and peppers and cook for about 1 minute until the vegetables start to soften a bit. Add the green onions and stir everything together.
• Combine: Pour the sauce over the beef and veggies and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until the sauce thickens a bit from the cornstarch.
• Serve: Serve over cooked rice.

BEEF AND PEPPER STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Add all the marinade ingredients to the beef in a bowl, mix well, and set aside for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• When you're ready to cook, place a wok over high heat until it's almost smoking, then add the oil. Sear the beef until it's just browned but still a little rare. Turn off the heat while you transfer the beef to a separate bowl. Leave any oil/fat in the wok.
• Heat the wok back up over medium-high heat and add the garlic and peppers. Stir-fry for 20 seconds, then spread the Shaoxing wine around the wok to de-glaze it.
• Stir-fry for another 20 seconds and add the beef back to the wok along with any juices from the bowl. Add salt, sugar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and white pepper. Turn the heat back up to high and stir-fry for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the peppers turn darker.
• If you like more sauce, add the chicken stock to further de-glaze the wok and reduce the liquid slightly. The cornstarch from the marinade will help thicken the sauce. Plate and serve immediately with rice.

THAI BEEF WITH PEPPERS

Steps:

• Cook the noodles according to the package directions.
• In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sherry, cornstarch, brown sugar, ginger, chili paste, garlic and the juice of half the lime. Pour a third of the marinade into a bowl with the sliced beef and toss to coat. Reserve the rest of the marinade for later.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high to high heat. When it is very hot, throw in the onions and cook for a minute or so. Add the bell peppers and jalapenos. Cook for a minute, tossing until the peppers have brown/black bits but are still firm. Remove the vegetables to a plate.
• Into the hot skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the meat mixture, evenly distributing it over the surface of the skillet. Allow to sit for 45 seconds, then turn with tongs. Cook for another 30 seconds, then add the onions and peppers back into the skillet. Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the remaining marinade and stir. Allow to simmer on low for a few minutes; the sauce will slowly thicken. Turn off the heat.
• Drain the noodles, then add half of them to the stir-fry. Toss and add more noodles as desired. Stir in some very hot water if needed to thin the sauce.
• Top with basil and cilantro leaves and serve immediately with a squeeze of the remaining lime half.

ORIENTAL BEEF WITH PEPPERS

Steps:

• 1. Cut beef in thin slices across the grain. Mix in 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp sherry, 2 tsp sesame oil, and 2 tbsp cornstarch, adding the cornstarch last. Marinate for 30 mins.
• 2. Remove seeds from the peppers and cut into thin strips, about 2 1/2 inches in length.
• 3. In another bowl mix together 1 cup water, 1/4 cup sherry, 1/2 cup soy sauce, and 1/4 cup sugar.
• 4. Add 4 tbsp oil to a preheated wok or skillet. Add garlic and ginger and stir-fry briefly until aromatic. Add the beef and stir-fry until it changes color. Remove and set aside.
• 5. Wipe the wok or skillet with a paper towel. Add 1 tbsp oil. When the oil is hot, add the red and green peppers. Stir-fry briefly. Add the sauce and bring to a boil. Add the beef. Mix everything through and serve hot over cooked rice.
• 6. I like my sauce a little thicker and before adding the beef I usually add a little slurry of cornstarch and water to thicken it. Then add beef.

BEEF WITH RED AND GREEN PEPPERS CHINESE STYLE

Steps:

• Core and remove the seeds from the red and green peppers. Cut peppers into thin strips about 1 1/2 inches long.
• Slice the meat across the grain into thin strips 1 1/2 to 2 inches long. Place in a bowl and add the cornstarch, soy sauce and pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons of the oil. (The oil keeps the meat from sticking together while cooking.) Blend well and let stand 15 minutes.
• Heat the remaining oil in a wok or skillet large enough to hold the ingredients. When the oil is very hot add the meat and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds until separated. Drain the meat in a sieve over a bowl to catch the drippings and reserve the oil.
• Wipe out the wok and return 2 tablespoons of the oil to it. Heat the oil and add the peppers, scallions and garlic. Cook over high heat until crisp and tender, about 1 minute. Add the sugar, wine, chicken broth and salt if desired. Add the beef and cook quickly, stirring, until just heated through. Serve immediately.
