Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak:

  • 1 lb (450g) beef strips (sirloin or ribeye)
  • 2 tbsp (30g) vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15g) grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tbsp (15g) soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp (15g) oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp (30g) soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp (30g) oyster sauce (optional)
  • 2 tbsp (30g) hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp (30g) rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp (15g) cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp (30g) vegetable oil

For the Onions:

  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 tbsp (15g) vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil to form a flavorful marinade. Toss the beef strips in this marinade, ensuring they are fully coated, and let them sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Cook the Onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté them until they become soft and slightly caramelized, which enhances their natural sweetness. Season with salt and pepper, then remove the onions from the pan and set aside.
  3. Sear the Beef: Using the same pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, turning frequently until the beef is browned on all sides and cooked to your desired doneness.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour this sauce mixture over the beef in the pan, stirring continuously and allowing it to simmer and thicken, coating the beef evenly with a glossy, rich sauce.
  5. Combine & Serve: Return the sautéed onions to the pan and stir well to combine all ingredients. Serve the sizzling Chinese pepper steak hot over freshly steamed rice or your choice of noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Use flank steak as a leaner alternative for beef strips if preferred.
  • To increase the spice level, add red pepper flakes or Szechuan peppercorns during the marinade or cooking process.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
