In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the peppers and onions until they just start to brown at the edges. This quick process maintains their crisp-tender texture, a hallmark of a perfect Pepper Steak.
Infusing Aromatics
Lower the heat to medium-low, adding a bit more oil if necessary. Introduce the minced ginger and garlic, stirring constantly for about 1 minute. Whisk the sauce and pour it into the skillet, allowing it to thicken to perfection.
Final Symphony
Reintroduce the cooked beef, peppers, and onions to the pan, stirring to coat them in the luscious sauce. Warm the ensemble for a few minutes, ensuring every component absorbs the rich flavors.
Notes for Culinary Success
Opt for high-quality cuts like tenderloin, petite shoulder, porterhouse, or ribeye for the beef.
Slice the onions and peppers into thin strips for a quick and crisp-tender stir-fry.
Mirin, though ideal, can be substituted with dry sherry and granulated sugar in a 3:1 ratio.
Stay vigilant during the stir-fry process; it demands undivided attention for optimal results.
