Notes
The key to adding a burst of color and crunch to your Chinese Pepper Steak lies in the selection of bell peppers. Choose a variety of bell peppers in different colors, such as red, green, and yellow. Slice them into thin strips to ensure even cooking. Stir-fry the bell peppers until they are crisp-tender, retaining their vibrant hues and adding a delightful crunch to the dish.
