Green Pepper Steak with tomatoes and onions, served over rice for a complete meal. This vibrant and flavorful pepper steak stir fry is easy enough for a weeknight, and good enough for company! Pepper steak is very easy to make!
Slice your steak very thin and marinate in a little soy sauce and granulated sugar while the other ingredients are prepped. Once quick fried, the steak is tender and flavorful with little crispy edges that I adore. Next, the peppers and onions are sautéed until crisp-tender before adding garlic and ginger to round out the flavors. Everything is coated in a simple but tasty umami sauce thickened with cornstarch.
Finally, ripe tomatoes are stirred in at the end just until warmed, but not cooked. Served over rice, this complete meal can be on the table in under an hour!
