Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: For this recipe, a flank steak or skirt steak is a good choice. These cuts are relatively thin and cook quickly, making them ideal for a stir-fry.
  • Slice the beef thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Marinate the beef: This will help it tenderize and add flavor. A simple marinade made with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and rice wine is a good option.
  • Use a hot skillet: This will help sear the beef and prevent it from sticking.
  • Cook the beef in batches: If you overcrowd the skillet, the beef will not cook evenly.
  • Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will help them retain their crunch.
  • Serve the beef pepper skillet over rice or noodles: This will make a complete and satisfying meal.

Conclusion:

Beef pepper skillet is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a healthy and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a simple but delicious meal, give this recipe a try.
