Last night I felt like making an easy stir-fry. I didn’t have the recipe at work that I normally make so I found Kikkoman’s on allrecipies.com and changed it up a bit. I intended to make it just like the recipie until I got to the store and saw that sugar snap peas were on sale, so I bought some of those. And then I started thinking I wanted to add some color so I picked up a red pepper too. So here’s what it ended up being. I was told by my husband that he ‘likes the ratio of ingredients-not too much or too little of anything’. Thanks Kev!!
Chinese Pepper Steak-kind of.
Ingredients:
- 1lb. boneless beef sirloin or round steak
- 1 tbsp Kikkoman Hoisin Sauce
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
- 3 green bell peppers-cut into 1 inch squares
- 1 red bell pepper-cut into 1 inch squares
- 1 medium onion-cut into 1 inch squares
- 1/2 cup Kikkoman Hoisin Sauce
- 1/2 lb sugar snap peas
- splash of fish sauce
- splash of soy sauce
Instructions:
- Cut steak across grain into thin strips then into 1 inch squares, coat with 1 tbsp hoisin sauce and set aside
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in hot wok over med-high heat. Add beef and stir-fry about 1 minute (or until almost cooked to your desired temp). Set aside.
- Heat remaining tbsp oil in the same pan. Add peppers, peas and onions, splashes of soy and fish sauce and stir-fry until cooked through but still nice and crisp-about 5 minutes.
- Stir in beef and remainder of hoisin sauce, cook and stir until beef and veggies are coated with sauce. Serve immediately.
I served mine over jasmine rice. Makes 4 servings.
