Notes
Storage: After cooking, allow the Sizzling Chinese Pepper Steak to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing the dish in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
Reheating: To reheat, place the desired portion in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between, until warmed to your liking.
Serving: Serve the Sizzling Chinese Pepper Steak hot over steamed rice or noodles to soak up the flavorful sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
Chef’s Tip: For enhanced flavor, marinate the beef overnight if time allows. This allows the soy sauce, ginger, and garlic to penetrate the meat more deeply, resulting in a richer taste. Additionally, adjust the amount of black pepper to suit your spice preference.
