HOW DO YOU MAKE PEPPER STEAK STIR FRY?
This dish is a combination of sauteed bell peppers, browned steak and a savory sauce. The recipe starts by cooking the sliced peppers until tender. The next step is to add the thinly sliced flank steak into the pan. The finishing touch is the 2 minute sauce which gets poured over the meat and vegetables and then simmered until thickened. Add a bowl of steamed rice and dinner is ready!
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb beef strips (I used thinly sliced round steaks and cut them into strips)
- 1 green bell pepper, cutting to thick tranches
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into thick slices
- 1/2 thick sliced onion
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Methods :
-Place beef, peppers and onions in an electric pressure cooker.
-Adding season, brown sugar & soy sauce on beef / peppers.
-Pour beef broth into Instant Pot.
-Stir to combine.
-Add the lid and make sure it is tightly closed. Set pressure to high for 15 min.
-When done for a quick release (or if you want the steak to fall apart, do a natural release)
-Remove the cover and press the Cancel button. Then switch the pressure cooker to sauté mode.
-In a separate small bowl, mix 1/4 cup cold water with a tablespoon of cornstarch together. Then stir the pepper steak mixture into the Instant Pot.
-Bring to a boil for 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
Enjoy !
