Who doesn’t love a good Chinese takeout? Today we’ll cook our own Chinese pepper steak without the cost of delivery! Keep reading and I’ll walk you through the preparation and completion of a delicious Chinese pepper steak meal.
First, we need the right ingredients for our Chinese pepper steak. Traditionally, beef is used but for this dish we’ll use pork as the meat ingredient. The complete list of ingredients is below:
Ingredients:
- 1kg / 2.2 lbs pork steaks cubed
- 1 onion
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 cup of water or pork broth
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 Knorr brand pork bullion cube
The two main ingredients after the meat is a bell pepper and an onion. They both need to be carefully washed then cut in to large pieces. Next, break open each clove of garlic and then either dice or mince each peeled clove. We still need to prepare the pork. Carefully wash your cutting surface with hot, soapy water, then cut the pork into small, thin slices.
Now we’ll get the sauce going in our wok or frying pan. First, lets stir fry our vegetables in oil in the work or frying pan. Heat two tablespoons of oil and when it starts to sizzle, add our prepped bell pepper, onion and garlic. After stir frying for five minutes, add one cup of water or pork broth in a wok or frying pan. Add the two tablespoons of soy and oyster sauce to the hot water. Stir in the Knorr brand pork bullion cube. Last, add the two teaspoons of sugar to the sauce. After stirring for five minutes, add the pork which we sliced in to thin pieces.
Cover the wok or frying pan and let it all cook for an hour. The pork meat should have an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit or 66 degrees Celsius. I recommend purchasing a meat thermometer to ensure you’re safely cooking your meats.
Transfer our pepper steak stir fry to a serving dish. Of course our pepper steak stir fry wouldn’t be complete without a side of white rice! I recommend Jasmine rice for an authentic Chinese stir fry experience.
