TIPS

Here are some tips for the preparation of Pepper Steak and Mushroom Stir-Fry:

  • Use Fresh, High-Quality Beef: Lean beef works best for stir-frying, but a slightly marbled cut adds extra flavour.
  • Don’t Overcook The Beef: Stir-frying on high heat ensures the meat stays juicy and tender.
  • Enhance The Umami: Add a splash of rice vinegar or a dash of Worcestershire sauce for a deeper flavour.
  • Prevent Mushrooms From Getting Soggy: Cook them on high heat to keep them firm and caramelised.
  • For A Spicier Kick: Increase the amount of black pepper or add red pepper flakes.

VARIATIONS

  • Vegetarian Alternative: Replace beef with firm tofu or seitan for a plant-based version.
  • Additional Vegetables: Include bell peppers, onions or snap peas for extra texture and colour.
  • Garlic & Ginger Boost: Add minced garlic and grated ginger for an extra aromatic depth.
  • Sweet & Savoury Balance: Stir in a teaspoon of honey or brown sugar to balance the heat from the black pepper.
  • Low-Sodium Option: Use reduced-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos to cut back on salt.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan over medium heat for the best texture.
  • Freezing: Cooked beef can be frozen separately for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Meal Prep: Pre-slice the beef and mushrooms ahead of time for a faster cooking process.
