Caterer-Style Pepper Steak
 
Ingredients
Meat:
  • 4 lb London broil, thinly sliced
  • ⅛ cup toasted sesame oil
  • Pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Vegetables:
  • Oil, for sauteing
  • 2 onions
  • 6 peppers (green, yellow, red)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
Sauce:
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 3 ½ cups orange juice
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • ¾-1 cup soy sauce (depending how salty the soy sauce is)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 teaspoon garlic
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch, dissolved in 2-3 tablespoons water
Instructions
  1. Prepare the meat. Combine sliced meat with sesame oil, salt, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, baking powder, and eggs. Marinade overnight or 4-6 hours. When ready to fry, add 2 tablespoons cornstarch to the marinade. Fry in batches until golden, about 4 minutes.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: Heat oil over high heats and sauté onions. Add pepper and continue to cook over high heat for a few minutes, until crisp, not soft. Add garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the sauce: Place all sauce ingredients aside from the cornstarch in a pot. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by ⅓. Add cornstarch mixture.
  4. Combine meat, vegetables, and sauce in a deep 9- x 13-inch pan. Cover very well and bake at 350ºF for a minimum of 2 hours. You can also choose to freeze the pepper steak before baking. Remove from freezer the day you are serving and bake for 4 hours or until the meat is soft.
