Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, flank steak, or skirt steak are all good choices for pepper steak.
Tenderize the meat: Pounding the meat with a meat mallet or marinating it in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger will help to tenderize it.
Slice the meat against the grain: This will help to make the steak more tender and easier to chew.
Use a hot skillet: A hot skillet will help to sear the steak and lock in the juices.
Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the steak will not cook evenly.
Cook the steak in batches if necessary: If you have a lot of steak to cook, cook it in batches so that you don't overcrowd the skillet.
Let the steak rest before slicing: Letting the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing will help to keep the juices in the meat.
