Chinese-Style Pepper Steak Stir-Fry
  1. 1

    Cut the steak across the grain into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk the soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and ginger until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Add the steak slices to the marinade and stir until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, then cook the steak strips in batches in the hot oil to avoid crowding the pan. Cook and stir until well browned, about 3 minutes, and transfer the steak from the wok to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining steak, adding more oil as needed, and set the cooked meat aside.

  4. 4

    Return the cooked steak strips to the hot wok and add the onion. Toss the steak and onion together until the onion starts to soften, about 2 minutes, then add the green pepper.

  5. 5

    Cook and stir until the peppers turn bright green and begin to become tender, about 2 minutes more, then add the tomatoes.

  6. 6

    Stir everything together to combine and develop the flavors, then serve.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
