# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a bowl and stir together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken stock, water, and cornstarch until everything's smooth with no lumps. Put it aside for later—this sauce will make your dish pop.
02 -
Grab your beef chunks and toss them in a bowl with a bit of salt and a dash of soy or oyster sauce—whatever you like better!
03 -
Get your pan screaming hot, pour in some oil, and drop in your beef. Don't touch it for about 30 seconds—that's how you get that yummy brown crust! Then stir it around for 2 more minutes till it looks good to you. Take it out and set it aside.
04 -
Using the same pan, toss in your peppers and onions and cook them for two minutes. Throw in your garlic, paprika, ginger, and Cajun stuff if you're using it. Keep stirring for another 2-3 minutes until the veggies are still a bit crunchy.
05 -
Time to finish it up! Pour in the sauce you made earlier and let it bubble and thicken for about 2 minutes. Toss the beef back in and mix everything together. Your pepper steak should look shiny and super tasty!
06 -
Take your pan off the heat and scoop everything over some hot rice. Sprinkle green onions on top and put some hot sauce on the table for anyone who wants extra kick. Time to eat!
