Here is a quick and tasty recipe for Sizzling Chinese Pepper Steak with Onions:
Ingredients:
– 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
– 1 large onion, sliced
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
– 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 1/2 cup beef broth
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– Optional: Crushed red pepper flakes or black pepper
Instructions:
1. Marinate the Steak
In a bowl, mix the sliced steak with soy sauce and cornstarch. Allow it to marinate for 15-20 minutes.
2. Prepare the Sauce
In a separate small bowl, combine oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, beef broth, and sesame oil. Set this mixture aside.
3. Cook the Steak
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Add the marinated steak and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until it is browned. Remove the steak and set it aside.
4. Cook the Vegetables
In the same wok, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Incorporate the sliced bell peppers, onions, and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. Combine Everything
Return the cooked steak to the wok and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the steak and vegetables.

If desired, garnish with crushed red pepper flakes or freshly ground black pepper. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
