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.

TamiP
Love the recipe,andI really love that pan!
Do you know where it’s available to buy?
Beth Pierce
Thank you. That Bialetti induction cooking skillet was purchased at Bed Bath and Beyond! Don’t forget your coupon!! 😉
Kathi Hanson
What other cuts of beef would work with this recipe? Looks Delicious.
Beth Pierce
Thank you! Beef tenderloin (filet) or Ribeye would work well. I had a great t-bone last night. Of course you would have to trim that and remove it from the bone. Have a wonderful holiday weekend!!
Paula
This recipe sounds good. I am going to use skirt steak. I think with this recipe it will be great. Thanks
Beth Pierce
Awesome! Thanks a lot Paula!
Donna
I was really curious about how this would taste …. with the interesting combination of sauce ingredients ….. So I must share that my family loved loved loved it. They are a heat loving bunch – So I added some red pepper flakes at the end. Do not believe this compromised the original recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Beth Pierce
Thanks so much and so glad that you loved it. We like the heat too but sometimes I have to tame my recipes a little for all the readers!
JAN ILMBERGER
This recipe looks amazing but my husband does not like any color pepper. What other vegies can I substitute?
Thank you,
Jan
Beth Pierce
How about broccoli and onions? Bok choy? I think this will work but I have not tried it.
Vikki
Made this tonight for dinner…served over cauliflower rice..absolutely delicious!..husband said it was make again good.
I didn’t have hoisen sauce used soy sauce. I just can’t say enough about how much flavor this dish had.
Beth Pierce
I am so glad that you liked it. Thanks for leaving such a nice comment. You made my evening so delightful!
Donna Henchy
how many servings is this?
Beth Pierce
You know I have never been very good at this because my husband eats a lot. He is a big guy! I would say 3-4.
Dennis Donohue
The photographs show both snow peas and broccoli as ingredients.
Why did they not appear in the list of ingredients?
Beth Pierce
I think you are mixing up two of my recipes. Spicy Beef Pepper Stir-Fry is another one of my recipes that is quite similar although it does not have snow peas. They could easily be added. This recipe is a lot spicier than the One Skillet Steak and Peppers. Both are delicious but slightly different.
Autumn
Making this tonight but not with all that stuff but only with pepper, olive oil and steak
Beth Pierce
It will still be great. Honestly how can you go wrong with that!
Terry
How many servings ?
Beth Pierce
This has always been the hardest part for me because my husbands eats 2-3 servings. I would say 4 unless you have heavy eaters then I would say 2.
Sonie
I will be trying this recipe when my loves get home soon
Beth Pierce
Thank you! Sounds like a great plan!
Ellen Schaub
I fixed this tonight for my teenage grandson and myself and we loved it. As with any new recipe it seemed like I was preparing it forever, but I know the next time I make it (and it won’t be long) it will go much faster. The only thing I may tweak is the amount of Apple cider vinegar. It came through just a bit too strong for me so I will probably cut the amount in half. This is one of the few Pintrest recipes I have tried that was a complete success just as it was written. I will definitely be trying your other recipes. Thank you for sharing it us.
Beth Pierce
Thanks so much! You are most welcome. I am so glad that you liked it. We love it too!
