Notes
You can control the saltiness or spiciness of the pepper steak dish according to your preference by adjusting the amount of black pepper or soy sauce in this recipe. Once cooked, don’t cut into the meat immediately. Allow the steaks to rest for a few minutes before slicing to enjoy their smoky texture while still being tender inside.
