Gluten-Free Pepper Steak Recipe

Craving a classic comfort food dish but need it to be gluten-free? Look no further! This gluten-free pepper steak recipe delivers all the savory, peppery goodness you remember, without any gluten. It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner and sure to become a new family favorite.

Why This Recipe Works:

Traditional pepper steak often relies on soy sauce (which usually contains wheat) and flour for thickening the sauce. This recipe cleverly avoids both. We use tamari, a gluten-free soy sauce alternative, and cornstarch to create a luscious, thick sauce that perfectly coats the tender beef and crisp vegetables.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 bell pepper (any color), sliced
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• Cooked rice or cauliflower rice, for serving

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together tamari, cornstarch, and beef broth. Set aside.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3. Add beef and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
4. Add bell pepper and onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
5. Pour the tamari mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Return the beef to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce. Add black pepper and red pepper flakes (if using).
7. Serve immediately over cooked rice or cauliflower rice.

Tips and Variations:

• For a sweeter flavor, add a tablespoon of brown sugar or honey to the sauce.
• Add other vegetables like mushrooms, broccoli, or snap peas.
• If you don’t have beef broth, chicken broth can be substituted.
• Make sure your tamari is certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.

Enjoy this delicious and easy gluten-free pepper steak! It’s a satisfying meal that everyone will love.
