THE BEST PEPPER STEAK

Steps:

• Freeze the flank steak until the meat is slightly frozen and firm enough to thinly slice with ease, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Finely grate 2 cloves of the garlic into a large bowl. Peel the ginger and cut it in half. Finely grate one of the ginger halves into the same bowl; reserve the remaining ginger. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of the Shaoxing wine, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the sugar and several large grinds of pepper to combine. Set aside.
• Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain on a very slight bias into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Cut any extra-long pieces in half; the strips should be no longer than 3 to 4 inches. Add to the bowl with the marinade and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• About 30 minutes before finishing the dish, use tongs to transfer the steak to a large baking sheet lined with several layers of paper towels and arrange in a single layer. Lay additional paper towels on top to help absorb any excess marinade. Set aside to take the chill off the meat.
• Whisk together the beef broth, sesame oil, remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce, remaining 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar and a couple large grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Finely mince the remaining 2 cloves garlic and add to a small bowl. Finely mince the remaining ginger and add to the same bowl. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add a third of the steak strips in a single layer and cook until well-browned on the first side, about 1 minute. Flip and cook until browned on the second side, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a large plate. Cook the remaining steak in 2 additional batches, adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of canola oil per batch. Transfer to the plate.
• Lower the heat to medium high. Add the onion and a splash of water to the empty skillet and cook, scraping up any browned bits and stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the red and green bell peppers and cook, stirring frequently and adding another splash of water if the skillet starts to get too brown on the bottom, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until softened, about 1 minute.
• Return the steak to the skillet and stir to combine. Whisk the cornstarch into the sauce, then pour it into the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thick and glossy, about 2 minutes. Transfer the pepper steak to a large serving platter and top with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with a side of steamed rice.

STEAK WITH BLACK PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• For the marinade, mix well all ingredients. Place steaks in a resealable plastic bag, add marinade, close, shake to coat the steaks and leave to marinate for at least 2 hours.
• Take the steaks out of the marinade and cook (without any oil) in a well-heated frying pan on medium high heat for about 2 minutes on each side. Place the cooked steaks on a plate and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat the saucepan used to cook the steaks. Add red wine and deglaze the pan. Simmer for a few seconds to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
• Add remaining crushed black pepper, beef broth, liquid collected from the cooked steak, cream and Worcester sauce. Simmer for few minutes and thicken the sauce with cornstarch solution.
• Arrange cooked steak on a plate with basmati rice. Ladle black pepper sauce over the steak and serve immediately.
• Serve with plain Basmati rice and green salad.

BLACK-PEPPER HONEY STEAK

Steps:

• 1. Combine the wine, honey, garlic and pepper in a shallow dish, add the steak and turn to coat both sides with the mixture. Let stand at room temperature while you set up the rest of the meal. 2. High heat is needed here to get a good sear. Prepare a charcoal grill for direct grilling or preheat a gas grill set for high heat. Oil the grate. 3. Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry. Arrange the steaks on the hot grate and sprinkle with salt to taste. Grill for 4 to 6 minutes. Turn the steaks over using tongs (don't use a fork; poking the meat releases the flavorful juices), sprinkle with salt and more black pepper, and grill the second side for about the same amount of time, or to desired doneness. The best way to make sure the steak is done to your liking is to insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, not touching bone. Let steak rest a few minutes before serving.

HONEY AND BLACK PEPPER STEAK

Steps:

• Heat a wok until very hot, then add half the oil, swirling to coat.
• Fry the beef in batches for about 3 minutes each batch or until browned.
• Reheat the wok, and add the rest of the oil, and stir fry the onion and peas until softened.
• Remove.
• Add the honey, sauces and pepper, bring to the boil and simmer for about 3 minutes to reduce and thicken a little.
• Return the meat and vegetables to the wok, and toss for about 3 minutes to heat and combine.
• Serve at once over rice.

BLACK PEPPER-HONEY STEAK

Steps:

• Combine the wine, honey, garlic and pepper in a shallow dish, add the steak and coat with mixture. Let stand and room temperature while you set up the rest of the meal.
• Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch sauté pan over medium high heat. Pat steak dry; add to pan and brown quickly on both sides (salt lightly, and grind more pepper over both sides as they cook).
• Turn heat to medium low and cook, turning often, about 10 minutes or until steak reaches an internal temperature of 125° to 130°.
• Remove to a platter and let rest 5 to 10 minutes - The steak finishes cooking, the juices redistribute into the meat, and the steak will be much juicier for the wait.
