Chinese Pepper Steak Recipe

Step 1

Whisk all of the sauce ingredients together and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, toss the steak slices with the baking soda to coat. Let stand 15 minutes to tenderize, then rinse thoroughly with water. Let drain and pat dry.

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add slices of meat in a single layer and sear quickly, about 1 minute on each side (depending on how thinly you sliced it).

Step 4

Remove to a plate and repeat with more oil and more meat until all the meat has been cooked to your liking.

Step 5

Add the vegetables to the pan and stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until becoming tender. Add the meat and any accumulated juices back into the pan.

Step 6

Stir in the sauce and cook until thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper (and more chili garlic sauce if you like!). Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
