Hello beautiful people, my friends and family, greetings, I hope you all are doing fantastic.
Today on the menu is a simple yet decadent pepper steak paired with rice.
It is family approved, my children absolutely love it.
You and your family are also going to just totally fall in love with this simple yet
decadent recipe.
I cannot wait to get started, but before we continue, I know you're already loving this
video, so while your girl is trying, you need to encourage me to keep bringing you some
more good stuff.
So give me a thumbs up and let's continue.
First, let's wash our hands.
To begin, let's quickly go over the ingredients.
I have some fresh produce here.
I have a green and red bell pepper.
I also have one large onion, three cloves of garlic, about half the size of my thumb,
ginger, peeled.
Now I will be creating a glaze-like effect on my meat today.
And for that, I'm going to be needing some honey.
This is pure organic honey.
I also have some oil.
And this is my cornstarch.
And I have my chicken seasoning, crushed black pepper, and some soy sauce.
This is a combination of light and dark soy sauce.
And of course, we can't make pepper steak without the steak, so the steak is representing
the flank cut of the steak, and it is very tender when it is stir-fried.
So it's the best option for stir-frying, by the way.
And as you can see, the strands of the muscle are going in a horizontal direction.
So to slice it, we're going to slice it against that direction to get really tender
melt-in-your-mouth cuts.
First, let's prep our vegetables.
All right, friends, the time has come to layer our flavors and marinate this meat.
Get that part going.
So I have my meat all ready and cut into very thin slices.
They're going to be juicy and melt-in-your-mouth, and you're going to cook with really beautiful,
crusty outer layer.
I have some crushed black pepper, and it's really coarsely crushed just now, just before
I started cooking.
I like to do that because you get the most flavor.
And then here is my soy sauce.
I'm going to use half of the entire amount.
I have my chicken seasoning, cornstarch, half of the entire amount again.
We're going to create a slurry, so I'm going to use part of it to create a slurry.
Here is the honey.
And last, but certainly not the least, is our oil.
This is olive oil.
Let's not forget our ginger and garlic.
We'll leave half to prepare the vegetables.
You can already tell this is going to be very flavorful.
Nothing better than fresh garlic and fresh ginger combination on top of a meat like this.
You know your step-by is going to be so, so good.
For the slurry, we're going to need some water, cornstarch, a little bit of crushed black
pepper, and our soy sauce.
The remainder of the soy sauce, that is.
And whisk to combine.
Make sure that you don't have any lumps of cornstarch in here.
This is going to be a delicious slurry that's going to thicken and create a sauce around
pepper steak.
It's nice and smooth, and we're going to get a really rich color from it.
Perfect.
So friends, I have a skillet ready to go onto the stove.
I'm going to turn the heat on to medium heat.
This is what I'm going to be cooking the meat in.
Why?
Because it's a non-stick, but it's a safe kind of non-stick cooking ware.
So I'm going to cook the meat in it first, transfer it, and then cook the vegetables,
and then we'll combine it with the slurry.
A small amount of oil.
Bring it to a piping heat level, and then we'll place the meat in it.
We're going to get a really beautiful crust.
Alright, here we have it.
Our steak is ready.
It's glossy, it's juicy, and it's absolutely flavorful.
I wish you were here to really smell the aroma.
So that portion is done.
Now let's work on our vegetables to finish cooking this pepper steak.
The remainder of the ginger and the garlic mince.
Crushed black pepper.
And a little salt.
Fresh garlic and ginger on fresh produce, such as these peppers, is a combination made in heaven.
It really enhances the flavor of the vegetables.
If you don't like vegetables, trust me.
Cooking your vegetables this way will make you have a change of heart.
Now comes all the vegetables.
One thing you do not want to do is overcook your garlic and your ginger.
You want them to still have that freshness.
Look at those colors, oh.
So mouthwatering already.
At this stage, you can cook your vegetables to your preferred doneness.
I really like the crunch, so I'm not going to overcook my vegetables.
I also want to maintain the vibrant color.
Because I eat with my eyes first, and I know you all do too.
To preserve the vibrant color of these vegetables, I have my heat on the highest level.
So I'm cooking on very high heat.
Now, we're going to add our slurry.
Give it a quick stir.
Because the cornstarch has now settled on the bottom of it.
So a quick stir, pour it in.
And it should quickly start thickening.
It's bleeding. See that?
We're done. We're going to add our meat now.
Now here comes the meat.
And the sauce.
Just a bit of sweetness.
And just like that, our pepper steak is done. It's ready.
A quick taste.
Oh, wow.
I promised simplicity and yet decadence, and I think we just did exactly that.
There is that slight bit of background sweetness that we gained from adding the honey from the beginning.
It is not overpowering sweetness, believe me.
It rather enhances the umami.
Umami is a savory glutamate taste, okay?
And it really enhances that taste.
Now, there is also the crushed black pepper, which really takes these flavors to the next level.
And not to talk about the crunchiness of the vegetables, you can see it even before you put it in your mouth.
Friends, lunch is served.
And I have the perfect bite right here.
Some pepper, onion, and of course the steak.
And I cannot wait to dig in.
I hope this recipe was simple enough for you and you also found it to be a decadent one that you're inspired to try for you and your family.
