Cooking with Cameron: Chinese pepper steak

A favourite Chinese takeaway dish that is really easy to create at home. It is full of flavour and the Pepper c flavour can be adjusted to suit your taste. Using the cheap cuts of meat is fine here with this recipe -chuck steak or blade work well. Adding some BiCarb to the marinade and letting it rest tenderises the meat perfectly.

  • 2 blade steaks 
  • 3 colours of Capsicum (1/4 each finely sliced) 
  • ¼ small onion (finely sliced) 

Marinade
