Pepper Steak Stir Fry

Steak stir fry with peppers and sprinkled with sesame seeds on a wooden chopping board with chopsticks — Pepper Steak Stir Fry

A quick, straightforward, oriental lunch is what this recipe from Key for Keto provided. It was delicious and the finished dish was better than our usual take-out option.

With savory strips of beef, tender mushrooms, and sweet peppers, this dish is full of flavor and perfect for your keto diet. Simply heat some oil in a wok or skillet over medium high heat, add the garlic and beef, and cook until the meat is browned. Then, stir in the onion and pepper, along with corn (if using), soy sauce, and broth. Cook until the mushrooms become soft, stirring occasionally, then add the beef back in to heat through. This recipe was surprisingly simple but packs really great flavors. One of my favourites.

Blog Top Tips – Stir-frying

Stir frying is one of the best ways to prepare your favorite foods quickly and easily. To get started with stir frying, you will need the best equipment and oil for the job. High-quality woks or frying pans, along with a good-quality oil with a high smoke point like avocado or sesame oil, are key for creating the perfect stir fry.

In addition to choosing the right tools and ingredients, it is also important to know how quick stir frying actually is. Depending on what you are cooking, this cooking method can be done in as little as 5 minutes or as long as 20 minutes, if cooking meat or more robust vegetables.

A tasty meal both simple and full of essential vitamins and minerals. Worth a try for a well-rounded and delicious dinner.

What we think

“Pepper steak stir fry is a marvellous midday mouthful which oozes tastes of the Orient. The recipe served 4, as stated. I added a sprinkling of sesame seeds at the end which gave a super crunch. I also added a little more oil after cooking off the steak and before frying the onion and pepper so they did not char. This really is a cracking recipe that packs flavor. I liked this a lot. 5 out of 5 stars.”
