SAINT LOUIS PEPPER STEAK

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 (6-ounce) beef fillets (have the butcher cut them in 1/2 to make 8 (3-ounce) fillets)
Salt
1 cup coarsely cracked black peppercorns
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons finely diced garlic
2 teaspoons finely diced shallots
1/3 cup brandy or cognac
2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons pure clover honey
1/4 cup stone ground mustard

Steps:

  • Lightly salt both sides of the fillets. Then press each side firmly into the cracked pepper to coat.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil on high heat. Add the fillets to the pan and cook to the desired temperature. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same pan over medium-high heat, add the butter, garlic, and shallots and cook until golden brown. Remove from the heat and carefully pour in the brandy or cognac. Alcohol is very flammable, so have a lid handy. Put the pan back on the stove on medium to medium-high heat and add the heavy cream. Cook until reduced by half, about 6 to 8 minutes. Whisk in the honey and mustard. Adjust seasoning with salt, if desired.
  • Plate the fillets, finish with the sauce, and enjoy. Serve with your favorite starch and vegetable. At the Top of the Riverfront we serve with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and sauteed fresh vegetables in season.

THE BEST PEPPER STEAK



The Best Pepper Steak image

Pepper steak is a Chinese-American stir-fry dish that coats tender sliced steak and crisp-tender bell peppers in a deeply savory and slightly sweet sauce. We used flank steak here, but it is equally delicious with skirt or flap steak. No matter the cut, make sure to slice it thinly across the grain to ensure the meat is tender in the final dish. We tested bell peppers cut into a variety of sizes and found that one-inch pieces worked best, yielding peppers cooked to the perfect doneness (not too snappy but not at all mushy).

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 pounds flank steak
4 cloves garlic
One 1 1/2-inch piece ginger
7 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup beef broth
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 medium white onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large red bell pepper (about 8 ounces), cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large green bell pepper (about 8 ounces), cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Sliced scallions, for topping
Toasted sesame seeds, for topping
Steamed white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Freeze the flank steak until the meat is slightly frozen and firm enough to thinly slice with ease, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Finely grate 2 cloves of the garlic into a large bowl. Peel the ginger and cut it in half. Finely grate one of the ginger halves into the same bowl; reserve the remaining ginger. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of the Shaoxing wine, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the sugar and several large grinds of pepper to combine. Set aside.
  • Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain on a very slight bias into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Cut any extra-long pieces in half; the strips should be no longer than 3 to 4 inches. Add to the bowl with the marinade and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • About 30 minutes before finishing the dish, use tongs to transfer the steak to a large baking sheet lined with several layers of paper towels and arrange in a single layer. Lay additional paper towels on top to help absorb any excess marinade. Set aside to take the chill off the meat.
  • Whisk together the beef broth, sesame oil, remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce, remaining 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar and a couple large grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Finely mince the remaining 2 cloves garlic and add to a small bowl. Finely mince the remaining ginger and add to the same bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add a third of the steak strips in a single layer and cook until well-browned on the first side, about 1 minute. Flip and cook until browned on the second side, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a large plate. Cook the remaining steak in 2 additional batches, adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of canola oil per batch. Transfer to the plate.
  • Lower the heat to medium high. Add the onion and a splash of water to the empty skillet and cook, scraping up any browned bits and stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the red and green bell peppers and cook, stirring frequently and adding another splash of water if the skillet starts to get too brown on the bottom, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until softened, about 1 minute.
  • Return the steak to the skillet and stir to combine. Whisk the cornstarch into the sauce, then pour it into the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thick and glossy, about 2 minutes. Transfer the pepper steak to a large serving platter and top with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with a side of steamed rice.

JOY'S AWESOME PEPPER STEAK



Joy's Awesome Pepper Steak image

My friend's mom once made a pepper steak and it was delicious so I thought I would make my own version.

Provided by Joy Ward

Categories     100+ Everyday Cooking Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 21

¾ cup white rice
1 ½ cups water
1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
¾ cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons spaghetti sauce
1 tablespoon steak sauce
1 tablespoon salsa picante
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 ½ pounds boneless beef sirloin steak, cut into serving size pieces
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 onion, thinly sliced
4 mild yellow pepper rings, drained

Steps:

  • Bring the rice and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Put the cooked rice into a large serving bowl.
  • While the rice cooks, bring beef bouillon and 3/4 cup water to a boil in a saucepan; cook until the bouillon dissolves completely. Whisk the cornstarch and 1/4 cup water together in a small bowl until smooth; stir the red wine vinegar, spaghetti sauce, steak sauce, salsa picante, brown sugar, and ginger into the cornstarch mixture; pour the resulting sauce into the bouillon and water. Simmer until hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Melt the butter with the soy sauce in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the beef in the melted butter mixture until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Pour the sauce from the saucepan into the skillet; season with the garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil; lower heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick and sticks to the beef, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Pour the skillet mixture over the rice. Cook the onion and pepper rings in the skillet until softened, 5 to 7 minutes; scrape the onions, peppers, and remaining juices onto the beef and rice to serve.

Tips:

  • Use a good cut of steak: The best cuts for pepper steak are flank steak, skirt steak, or top sirloin. These cuts are relatively tender and have a good amount of flavor.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. A simple marinade can be made with olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Pepper steak is best cooked over high heat so that it gets a nice sear on the outside and stays tender on the inside. You can cook the steak in a skillet or on a grill.
  • Use fresh vegetables: The vegetables in pepper steak should be fresh and crisp. Good choices include bell peppers, onions, and snow peas.
  • Add the sauce at the end: The sauce for pepper steak is usually made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. It should be added to the steak and vegetables at the end of the cooking process so that it doesn't overcook.

Conclusion:

Pepper steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your pepper steak turns out perfectly every time.
