π§ A LITTLE HISTORY
Pepper Steak originated as a Chinese-American adaptation of stir-fried beef dishes from Cantonese cuisine. When Chinese immigrants brought their cooking to the U.S., they adjusted it to local ingredients β substituting bell peppers for Chinese vegetables, using beef more generously, and sweetening the sauce just a bit.
What was born? A dish that screams with flavor, yet comforts like home β a marriage of cultures in every bite.
