Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

- Return the cooked beef to the pan and add the oyster sauce and black pepper. Stir everything together for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
- Season with salt to taste, if needed.
- Serve the sizzling pepper steak with onions hot, over cooked rice or noodles if desired.

For extra spiciness, consider adding sliced chilies or red pepper flakes to the dish.
Make sure not to overcrowd the pan while cooking the beef to ensure it gets nice and brown.
