pepper steak

Wok-fried beef dish

Pepper steak is a dish of sliced beef stir-fried with bell peppers and onions, typically in a savory sauce—a staple of Chinese-American cuisine.

The term also refers to steak au poivre, a French preparation where beef is coated with crushed peppercorns and pan-seared, often finished with a cream or brandy sauce.
