Ingredients
Bell pepper.
Green, red, yellow, orange... any color you prefer. I love using all of them. It makes the dish look amazing and obviously tastes good too. I think it’s a must to add the green bell pepper, because beef and green bell pepper are meant for each other.Steak.
Choose your favorite steak (Rump, flap, flat, strip, rib eye, Denver steak…)Ginger.
I recommend you to use fresh ginger, because it gives the dish a fresh taste and also because of the health benefits.Onion.
I always use red onions for this delicious dish, but yellow onion works well too.Garlic.
One of the main ingredients. It is key for the strong flavor. But don’t worry, it will not have this strong garlic taste, as everything harmonizes perfectly together.Soy sauce.
As I have already written, use high quality soy sauce.Honey.
Just a few spoons for the perfect sweet touch.Cilantro.
Again, one key ingredient for the flavorful dish. As we don’t use many spices, we need to choose the right ingredients which will give a very strong flavorful taste to the dish.Salt.
I love to use sea salt for steak dishes, but any other salt works too.Pepper.
Freshly grated black and red pepper are so good. But you can use just black pepper.

any tips?
- This is a 10 minutes recipe, but if you have the time prepare the steak in the morning or even the night before. While the prepared beef rests, it has enough time absorbing the flavor of the onion, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper. It will bring your meal to the next level. You will still need 2 minutes preparing it.
- As the pepper will lose some water the sauce is very runny. I don’t have any problem with that, but if you would like to thicken up the sauce, mix 2 tbsp flour with the soy sauce before adding it to the steak.
