Recipe notes and helpful tips

• Use great cuts of beef like tenderloin, petite shoulder, porterhouse or rib eye.
• Slice your onions and peppers thin.  Stir fry moves fast and you want your veggies to be crisp tender.
• Have everything sliced and all your ingredients ready to go.
• Stir fry moves quickly so it needs your undivided attention. It is not the time to check your email or Facebook page.
• For a change of pace wrap Pepper Steak in a soft tortilla with sour cream, cheddar cheese and tomatoes.
• Hoisin sauce can be found in the Asian food section of your grocery store.  It is commonly referred to as Chinese ketchup but its flavors are far more complex.
• For best results do not overcook and serve immediately.
