The How-To

1. Give those beef steaks a hearty seasoning with black pepper.
2. Warm up your skillet or pan, adding olive oil over a medium flame.
3. Once things get sizzling, slide in the beef steaks. Sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side till they’ve got a nice tan.
4. Scoop out the steaks and let them chill on the side.
5. In that flavorful skillet, toss in onions and garlic. Cook until the onions play peekaboo, turning see-through.
6. Throw in those vibrant bell peppers. Give them a 3-minute dance in the skillet.
7. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with a splash of beef broth till smooth. Slide that into the skillet.
8. Time to pour in the remaining beef broth, a splash of soy sauce, and a pinch of salt. Give it a good mix.
9. Once your gravy starts getting all thick and bubbly, slide back those steaks. Let them soak in all that goodness for another 5 minutes.
10. Ensure the steaks feel just right and your pepper steak gravy looks dreamy before switching off.

Tips

3. If your gravy’s too thick or thin, play around with cornstarch till you hit the spot.
