Quick and tasty meal

Loads of people order this from Chinese take-out and I always wondered why when you can make it so much better at home!

I know the meat has that “special” texture when you get it from the restaurant, but if you want one extra step in the recipe and have a bit more time, you can get the answer to how they do it in my Beef & Broccoli post.

Lovely with jasmine rice

The restaurant uses the cheaper cut of meat for their pepper steak, so tenderizing is a must if it’s to be quickly cooked. I made this with sirloin, which is tender to begin with so if you use sirloin, you don’t have to tenderize.

Enjoy every bite!

However, if you want to use a cheaper cut like chuck or round, then follow the directions in the linked post above.

Ready in under 30 minutes

The flavor of this meal is enhanced when served with jasmine rice. I really suggest you use it with this, but in a pinch plain white rice will do.
