Ingredients
For the Pepper Steak
1½ lbs steak, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
2 cups beef broth
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch, divided
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Seasonings
1 tablespoon all-purpose seasoning
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
For the Seasoned Rice
2 cups cooked white rice
1 tablespoon butter
Black pepper, to taste
Parsley flakes, to taste
For the Garlic Butter Broccoli
1 bag broccoli florets
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon seasoned salt
Black pepper, to taste
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Steak
Place the sliced steak into a large bowl. Add the all-purpose seasoning, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Toss well until every piece is evenly coated.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until nicely browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until slightly tender but still vibrant.
Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Make the Savory Sauce
Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Return the steak to the skillet and mix everything together.
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Slowly pour the slurry into the skillet while stirring continuously. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until thick, glossy, and rich.
Step 4: Prepare the Seasoned Rice
Place the hot cooked rice in a bowl. Add the butter and fluff with a fork until melted and evenly combined. Season with black pepper and parsley flakes to taste.
Step 5: Make the Garlic Butter Broccoli
Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté until tender with slightly crispy edges.
Season with garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
To Serve
Spoon the seasoned rice onto plates, top with the rich pepper steak and gravy, and serve alongside the garlic butter broccoli for the ultimate comforting dinner.
