Ingredients
- Tender beef steaks: 2 pieces roughly 6 oz each (170 grams for our metric friends)
- Punchy black pepper: 2 tsp 10 ml
- Crisp bell peppers: 1 cup sliced 240 ml
- Sweet onions: 1/2 cup finely diced (120 ml)
- Rich beef broth: 1 cup 240 ml
- Handy cornstarch: 2 tsp 10 ml
- Zesty soy sauce: 1 tbsp 15 ml
- Fresh garlic cloves: 2 finely minced
- Liquid gold olive oil: 2 tbsp 30 ml
- A pinch or two of salt to your liking
Instructions
- Give those beef steaks a hearty seasoning with black pepper.
- Warm up your skillet or pan, adding olive oil over a medium flame.
- 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.
- Scoop out the steaks and let them chill on the side.
- In that flavorful skillet, toss in onions and garlic. Cook until the onions play peekaboo, turning see-through.
- Throw in those vibrant bell peppers. Give them a 3-minute dance in the skillet.
- In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with a splash of beef broth till smooth. Slide that into the skillet.
- Time to pour in the remaining beef broth, a splash of soy sauce, and a pinch of salt. Give it a good mix.
- Once your gravy starts getting all thick and bubbly, slide back those steaks. Let them soak in all that goodness for another 5 minutes.
- Ensure the steaks feel just right and your pepper steak gravy looks dreamy before switching off.

Notes
TIPS
Fresh bell peppers? Always a win.
Patience, my friend! Letting the steaks simmer in that gravy? Flavor jackpot.
If your gravy’s too thick or thin, play around with cornstarch till you hit the spot.
SERVING IT RIGHT
A cozy bed of white rice or creamy mashed potatoes for your pepper steak gravy? Yes, please.
Maybe some green veggies sautéed on the side for that perfect balance.
Sprinkle some fresh parsley or green onion slivers for that chef’s touch.
A tangy salad on the side can be a delightful contrast to your warm pepper steak gravy.
