There\u2019s nothing quite as simple as a stir-fry for dinner: meat and vegetables tossed together with a tasty sauce, served on a bed of rice or twirled together with noodles. One of our favorites is a Chinese pepper steak, a Chinese-American staple originally known as q\u012bngji\u0101o r\u00f2us\u012b<\/em>, from Fujian cuisine in China. This dish features tender slices of meat with stir-fried peppers, as well as other vegetable variations such as onions, mushrooms and tomatoes.<\/p>\n

Our Chinese pepper steak recipe makes four servings, perfect for dinner or prepping lunches for the week, and it can be prepared in less than an hour. The timing will depend on how long you spend marinating the steak for this dish. Marinating the steak helps to soften it up, resulting in tender slices of meat later. So if you have some time to spare\u2014and for the tastiest results\u2014give the meat a full hour to marinate.<\/p>\n

What’s the best cut of beef for Chinese pepper steak?<\/h2>\n

While top sirloin is recommended for this recipe, other cuts of beef, such as tenderloin, tri-tip and ribeye, could also work well. A thicker steak will result in that tender texture we typically desire in a Chinese beef pepper steak, so aim for steaks that are thicker versus thinner.<\/p>\n
