A savory Black Pepper Beef and Cabbage Stir-Fry featuring tender steak and crisp cabbage, perfect for a quick meal.
Equipment
- Large cast iron skillet
Ingredients
Spices and Aromatics
- 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
- 3 cloves garlic, grated
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Beef and Vegetables
- ¾ pound sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- ½ head small green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 8 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, crushed
- Cooked rice for serving
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Add peppercorns, garlic, brown sugar, cornstarch and 1 teaspoon salt to a medium bowl and stir to combine. Add sliced steak and toss to coat.
- Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add steak and cook, stirring frequently, until some of the edges are lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add soy sauce and toss beef to coat, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beef to a bowl or plate.
- Add cabbage to skillet, spread in an even layer and let cook, undisturbed, for 1 minute so that some pieces caramelize in the pan. Toss and cook cabbage, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in vinegar and season with salt.
- Add steak and any juices back to the skillet, and stir until well combined with the cabbage and warmed through, about 1 minute. Top with toasted sesame seeds and scallions; serve with rice.
