Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup beef stock
- ½ green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ¼ onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon seasoning salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon ginger paste (or freshly grated ginger)
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 4 sprigs of thyme
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, seasoning salt, cornstarch, ginger paste, and minced garlic. Mix well to form the marinade.
- Slice the sirloin steak thinly against the grain. Add the steak to the marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the steak to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned.
- Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, green onions, and thyme sprigs to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
- Pour in the beef stock and let the mixture simmer for another 4-5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the sauce to thicken.
- Stir the sauce occasionally and cook until the steak is fully tender and the vegetables are perfectly cooked.
- Remove the thyme sprigs and serve the Caribbean Pepper Steak with steamed rice or your favorite side dish.
Notes
- For an extra kick, you can add a chopped scotch bonnet pepper or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- You can substitute the sirloin steak with flank steak for a different texture.
- Serve with rice, quinoa, or on a bed of sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
