Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sesame Beef and Pepper Stir Fry.
Step 1
Start by gathering a large bowl and tossing in your sliced cabbage and vibrant red bell peppers.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine the sliced onion, diced garlic, and freshly grated ginger for a fragrant mix that will elevate your dish.
Step 3
Next, heat a wok or a large skillet over medium-high heat and pour in a generous 1/4 cup of sesame oil.
Step 4
Once the oil shimmers, add the beef along with the onion mixture, cooking it all until the beef is beautifully browned on both sides—this should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to bring in the colorful cabbage and bell pepper mix.
Step 6
Stir-fry everything together, allowing the cabbage to wilt and the onion to take on a lovely golden hue, while ensuring the beef is cooked through—this should take around 5 minutes.
Step 7
To enhance the flavors, stir in another 1/4 cup of sesame oil, along with soy sauce, a sprinkle of sugar, and a dash of black pepper, making sure everything is well-coated and deliciously combined.
Step 8
In a small bowl, whisk together water and cornstarch until the cornstarch dissolves completely.
Step 9
Pour this mixture into your skillet, stirring continuously as the sauce thickens and reduces over the next 5 minutes.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful aromas filling your kitchen as you create this mouthwatering dish!.
