<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nPepper Steak is one of my favorite Chinese takeout dishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tender beef along with saut\u00e9ed peppers and onions seasoned with copious amounts of black pepper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Great low carb meal prep option or quick weeknight dinner. If you are looking for quick and easy I can\u2019t think of a dish much easier than pepper Steak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can prepare this dish ahead of time and let it marinate all day while you\u2019re at work, come home and heat it up in a pan in about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or prepare and portion into Glass Meal Prep Containers<\/a> along side riced Cauliflower for the perfect keto meal to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The steak can marinate up to 24 hours but I think it\u2019s best around the 8-12 hour range. I recommend at least one hour to give it time to absorb the marinade. For this recipe I chose NY Strip steak. I think it\u2019s the perfect texture when sliced thinly and it was on sale this week at the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Other cuts that will work are flank, skirt, top sirloin or flat iron. Ribeye can be a little too fatty and using tenderloin would be to lean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Not to mention both of these cuts are a little pricey. If you really want to be budget friendly you can even make a ground beef version of this recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s quite tasty. I\u2019ve also made this same recipe using pork loin as well as chicken thighs. The beauty of this recipe is in the simplicity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Marinated meat along with onions and peppers, that\u2019s all you need! I\u2019m a traditionalist in the sense that I like to use yellow onions and green peppers in my pepper steak recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you prefer red or yellow peppers feel free to incorporate them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To cut down on the carbs you may want to substitute leeks or scallions along with a tsp of onion powder to give that onion flavor with less carbs. I always have frozen riced cauliflower at home. It\u2019s a great way to bulk up your meals with a lot less carbs than traditional rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are still some carbs in cauliflower so a hack to lower my carb count even lower I\u2019ll stir in a bag of Miracle Rice.<\/a> To heat up the Riced Cauliflower\/ Miracle Rice<\/a> mixture I\u2019ll add a tsp of sesame oil along with a tsp of salt and Allulose<\/a> to give it a subtle flavor .<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ll stir just long enough for the cauliflower to warm through. Make sure to drain and rinse the miracle rice under hot water before cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After I\u2019ve prepared the pepper steak I\u2019ll slide the meat off to one side and pour the \u201crice\u201d into the same cast iron pan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It makes for a nice presentation and is easy to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
