Do you love Pepper Beef Stir Fry Recipes? I know I do, and so does my family! Make tasty Asian restaurant fare at home — and do it in less than 30 minutes! Stir–fry is week-night easy. It all comes down to very simple ingredients.
You don’t need a lot of this and that to turn your meal into a delicious dinner. This is a Quick & Simple Beef Stir Fry Recipe that can be adapted in any number of ways: use chicken instead of beef, change up the vegetables…anything goes. Stir-fry recipes are quick and easy to make.
My favorite meat for stir-fry is flank steak because it remains tender when you slice it very thin, for instance. The trick to a good stir-fry is working with a very hot, relatively stick-free pan. Here is a wok that I like to use.
I say relatively stick-free because you don’t want one of those stick-free pans with the coating that peels off but say more like a well-seasoned wok or a cast-iron frying pan. I am not a big fan of any pan that has a coating on it that peels up (No Bueno). And my guess is that you are not. As a result, it is just not safe and can be toxic if your family eats it.

- 1 flank steak (1 lb) – thinly sliced crosswise

- 1/4 tsp red chili flakes

What kind cut of beef is used for this recipe?
Pepper steak isn’t an actual type of meat. I like to use the term beef stir fry with peppers and pepper steak interchangeably. The title can make it appear to be a specific type of steak, but it’s just the name of the dish because it contains peppers and steak.
The steak often used in pepper steak dishes is flank, sirloin, or round steak. The key is to make sure that you cut your beef on the bias or against the grain. This will ensure tendered sliced.
How to serve Beef Stir Fry With Peppers:
- On top of your favorite kind of rice.
- Make it a noodle stir-fry and use some Asian-style noodles.
- In a salad, serve this over some lettuce and load it with some other veggies.
- Wrap it up in a Burrito, including the rice.
This is the kind of easy dinner that I’m all about! Flavorful, delicious, and certainly easy to make. Not to mention a rainbow of bell peppers and tender pieces of beef in a delicious and yummy Asian-style sauce. So much flavor and so much versatility.
Healthier than takeout. That is to say, there is no need to order out! Dinner is served!
