A classic Chinese-style pepper steak made with tender sliced beef, sweet onions, and bell peppers tossed in a bold black pepper sauce. Fast, savory, and perfect for a homemade takeout-style dinner.

  2. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, beef broth, cornstarch, sugar, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Add oil to the hot pan and swirl to coat.
  4. Add beef in a single layer and stir fry quickly until just browned, then remove from the pan.
