Cooking StepsHow to cook Homestyle Stir-fried Beef with Green Peppers step by step

  1. Homestyle Stir-fried Beef with Green Peppers
    Step 1

    Prep: Slice the beef, green peppers, garlic, scallions, and ginger. Marinate the beef: add 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp cooking wine, and 1 tbsp cornstarch, mix well. Then add 1 tbsp cooking oil to seal in moisture. Marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. Homestyle Stir-fried Beef with Green Peppers
    Step 2

    Heat wok over high heat with oil until hot. Add the marinated beef and quickly spread it out. When about 80% of the beef has changed color, remove and set aside.

  3. Homestyle Stir-fried Beef with Green Peppers
    Step 3

    Heat oil in the wok, add scallions, ginger, garlic, and green peppers. Add 1 tbsp salt and stir-fry for about 1 minute. Return the beef to the wok, add 1 tbsp light soy sauce and 0.5 tbsp chicken bouillon powder. Toss everything together and it is ready to serve.
