Description

This Golden Pepper Steak is a vibrant, home-style Chinese dish that balances tender beef with the natural sweetness of yellow and red bell peppers. The marinade infuses the meat with deep umami flavors from soy sauce, sesame oil, and sherry, while a quick stir-fry ensures the vegetables remain crisp-tender. The sauce thickens beautifully with cornstarch, coating every bite in a glossy, savory glaze. Its an excellent choice for a quick weeknight dinner that feels special enough for guests. Serve it hot over steamed rice to soak up the delicious juices. With simple ingredients and a fast cooking time, this meal brings the warmth of a restaurant kitchen to your table without the hassle.

Note

For best results, slice the beef against the grain to ensure tenderness.

If you cannot find sherry, dry white wine is a suitable substitute.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to prevent the beef from becoming tough.
