(soft music playing) - Hello, beautiful people. My friends and family, greetings. I hope you all are doing fantastic. Today on the menu is a simple
yet decadent pepper steak here with rice. It is family approved. My children absolutely love it. You and your family are also going to just totally fall in love with this
simple yet decadent recipe. I cannot wait to get started
but before we continue, I know you're already loving this video, so why don't you give me a thumbs up? Your girl is trying here. You need to encourage me to keep bringing you some more good stuff. So, give me a thumbs
up and let's continue. First, let's wash our hands. To begin, let's quickly
go over the ingredients. I have some fresh produce here. I have a green and red bell pepper. I also have one large onion,
three cloves of garlic, about half the size of
my thumb ginger peeled. Now I will be creating a glaze like effect on my meat today. And for that, I'm going
to be needing some honey. This is pure organic honey. I also have some oil. And this is my cornstarch. And I have my chicken seasoning, crushed black pepper, and some soy sauce. This is a combination of
light and dark soy sauce. And of course we can make
pepper steak without the steak. So, the steak is representing. The flank cuts of the steak, and it is very tender
when it is stir fried. So it's the best option
for stir frying by the way. And as you can see the
strands of the muscle are going in a horizontal direction. So to slice it, we're going to slice it against that direction to get really tender
melt in your mouth cuts. First, let's prep our vegetables. All right, friends, the time has come to layer our flavors, and marinate this meat, and get that part going. So I have my meat. It's ready and cut into very thin slices. They're gonna be juicy,
and melt in your mouth. And you're going to cook with really beautiful crusty outer layer. I have some crushed black pepper, and it's really coarsely crushed just now, just before I started
cooking I like to do that 'cause you get the most flavor. And then here is my soy sauce. I'm going to use half
of the entire amount. I have my chicken seasoning. Corn starch. Half of the entire amount again. We're going to create a slurry. So I'm going to use part
of it to create the slurry. Here is the honey. And last but certainly
not the least is our oil. And this is olive oil. Let's not forget our ginger, and garlic. Leave half to prepare the vegetables. You can already tell this is
going to be very flavorful. Nothing better than fresh garlic, and fresh ginger combination on top of a meat like this. You know your stir fry is going to be, mmh, so, so good. For the slurry we're
going to need some water. Corn starch. A little bit of crushed black pepper, and all soy sauce. The remainder of the soy sauce that is. And whisk to combine. Make sure that you don't have any lumps of cornstarch in here. This is going to be a delicious slurry that's going to thicken, and create a sauce around pepper steak. It's nice and smooth, and we're going to get a
really rich color from it. Perfect. So friends, I have a skillet
ready to go onto the stove. I'm going to turn the
heat on to a medium heat. This is what I'm going to
be cooking the meat in, why? Because it's a non-stick, but it's a safe kind of
non-stick cooking ware. So I'm going to cook the meat in it first, transfer it, and then cook the vegetables. And then we'll combine it with the slurry. A small amount of oil. Bring it to a piping heat level, and then we'll place the meat in it. We're gonna get a really beautiful crust. (meat sizzling) (soft music playing) Alright, here we have it. Our steak is ready. It's glossy, it's juicy. And it's absolutely flavorful. I wish you were here to
really smell the aroma. So that portion is done. Now let's work on our vegetables, and finished cooking this pepper steak. (soft music playing) The remainder off the
ginger and the garlic mince. Crushed black pepper. And a little salt. (soft music playing) Fresh garlic and ginger on fresh produce such as these peppers it's a combination made in heaven. Really enhances the
flavor of the vegetables. If you don't like vegetables, trust me cooking your vegetables this way will make you have a change of heart. Now comes all the vegetables. One thing you do not wanna do is over cooked your
garlic and your ginger. You'd want them to still
have that freshness. Look at those colors, oh,
so mouthwatering already. As this stage you can cook your vegetables to your preferred doneness. I really liked a crunch, so I'm not going to
over cook my vegetables. I also want to maintain the vibrant color, 'cause I eat with my eyes first. And I know you all do too. (chuckles) To preserve the vibrant
color of these vegetables I have my heat on the highest level. So I'm cooking on very high heat. Now you're going to add our slurry. Give it a quick stir, 'cause the corn starch has now
settled on the bottom of it. Do a quick stir, pour it in. And it will quickly start thickening. And it comes to a glaze, see that. We're done. We're going to add our meat now. Now here comes the meat. (soft music) Beautiful glaze and a sauce. It has a bit of sweetness. And just like that, our pepper
steak is done. It's ready. A quick taste. Oh, wow! I promised simplicity and yet decadence, and I think we just did exactly. There is that slight bit
of background sweetness that we gained from adding
the honey from the beginning. It is not overpowering
sweetness, believe me, it rather enhances the umami. Umami is a savory glutamate tastes, okay. And it really enhances that taste. Now there is also the
crushed black pepper, which really takes these
flavors to the next level. And not to talk about the
crunchiness of the vegetables, you can see it even before
you put it in your mouth. (soft music playing) Friends, lunch is served, and I have the perfect bite right here. Some pepper, onion, and
of course the stake. And I cannot wait to dig in. I hope this recipe was
simple enough for you. And you also found it to be a decadent one that you're inspired to try
for you and your family. Please be sure to give me a thumbs up if you enjoyed this video. And also don't forget to share. Continue to spread the word. Tell a friend to tell another. Thank you so much for joining us today. I hope to see you soon. And as always make it a
great day and have fun, especially in the kitchen. Mmh, so good. So good. (soft music playing)
