Sorry, missed this. Hope you figured it out. All you need to do is use potato starch and Passover soy sauce, both are gluten free too.
Any ideas how I can make this gluten free and pesachdik? I have two packages of pepper steak and would love to make something with it ☺️
Hi, any quick cooking steak strips will work for this dish. I’ve seen ads for minute steak (which I read is #5) here in Israel and I think that would work well, otherwise I would try Sinta, which is #11 and have the butcher cut it into thin strips.
Thanks!
Hi Jamie,
What kind of meat would I buy in Israel? The sale that I am buying from has something called Lomito. shnitzel egel, sliced veal roast, and numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10….but no pepper steak! any of the above work? Thanks so much!
Yippeeee!!!!!!!
Jamie! I took your advice and used London broil instead. It was fabulous! Kids absolutely devoured it and it was soft and tensor to bite! Thanks a million!!!!!
Hey Devorah!!!! I am so obsessed that you are obsessed :-)!!!! Thank you and so so sorry it took me so long to respond. SO… here is the issue: there is no real clear or regulated system for what meat/counters and butchers call their meats. So while pepper steak has come to mean thinly sliced strips of steak it really depends what area of the cow the pepper steak is coming from. If it’s coming from a tougher area then you need to cook it longer to soften it or if it’s from a more tender area then you need to quickly cook it to prevent it from getting rubbery. So just ask your butcher/meat counter man if his pepper steak should be quickly stir fried or slow cooked in liquid to become tender. OK?
HI!
I love this recipe!! to me also happened that it came out rubbery the first times. then i became somewhat creative and tried using half of the amount of meat (since we are only 2 – for now) but the same amount of sauce, and it really helped! the meat “marinated” in the juice/sauce for a few minutes, while I cooked the peppers, and it came out much softer and really juicy!
trying it tonight again for the 10th time 🙂
OH YAYEEEEE Freidi!!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Hi Jamie! I’ve made this recipe a bunch of times and it’s delicious. The kids devour it. But I just can’t seem to avoid it from getting rubbery and tough. The flavors are yum but would be so much better if it was tender to bite. What can I do to change this?
Thanks in advance,

Sure you can but minute steak is a tougher cut so it’s best cooked quickly with dry heat (pan fried) or slowly with moist heat (oven braised). So to adapt this recipe I would saute the veg and then add the sauce to heat through. Sear the steaks in oil for a few minutes (1-2 mins per side for medium rare) on each side. Top the steaks with the warmed veg and sauce.
hi
can i use the same recipe for minute steaks?

Does this need fresh ginger or ground ginger?
