Meat You'll Need
Tender, flavorful, and quick to prepare, this Beef Top Round Pepper Steak highlights the natural beefiness of TenderBites Premium Top Round. Stir-fried with onions and peppers in a savory sauce, it’s perfect for weeknight meals or meal-prep bowls. Serve it over steamed rice for a satisfying, restaurant-style dish at home.
Preparation
- Prepare the Beef:
In a bowl, toss the beef strips with 1 tablespoon cornstarch, half of the soy sauce, and a pinch of salt. This helps tenderize the Premium Top Round and creates a nice sear when cooked. - Sear the Beef:
Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside. - Cook the Vegetables:
In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the sliced onions and bell peppers for 2–3 minutes, keeping them slightly crisp. - Make the Sauce:
Add oyster sauce, remaining soy sauce, water or broth, and cracked black pepper. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. - Combine Everything:
Return the seared beef to the pan. Mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 1–2 tbsp water to make a slurry, then pour it into the pan to thicken the sauce. Stir and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce coats the beef and vegetables. - Finish and Serve:
Add butter (optional) for extra richness. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve hot over steamed rice or pair with garlic fried rice for a hearty meal.
Cooking Tips
- Slice against the grain to keep the Premium Top Round tender.
- High heat is key: Stir-fry quickly to avoid overcooking the beef.
- Make it spicier: Add chili flakes or fresh siling labuyo for a Filipino kick.
- Swap veggies: You can add mushrooms, snap peas, or broccoli depending on availability and preference.
- Meal-prep friendly: This dish keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
