Étapes

Make the beef tender
In a bowl, mix the sliced beef with the light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, baking soda and the water. Leave it to sit for 15 minutes so the beef turns softer.
- 500g beef, sliced
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
- 1½ tsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp water
✅ C'est prêt quand : beef looks lightly coated and slightly tacky

Mix the sauce
In a small bowl, stir together the oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, black pepper and the cornstarch-water mixture until smooth. Set aside; you will add it near the end.
- 3 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp + 100ml water cornstarch mixed with water
✅ C'est prêt quand : sauce looks smooth with no lumps of cornstarch

The Story Behind the Dish
Stir-fried beef with peppers is a classic of Cantonese home cooking, where it's often made with black bean sauce. Chinese cooks in North America adapted it into 'pepper steak' in the mid-1900s, with a glossy oyster-sauce gravy and plenty of black pepper.
It became a standard of Chinese-American restaurants and family dinners.
⭐ Why It's Famous
It's quick, inexpensive and dependable — tender beef and crunchy peppers in a savoury sauce made for rice.
💡 Fun Fact
Restaurant beef is so tender thanks to 'velveting', a marinade with cornstarch and a pinch of baking soda.
