Jamaican Style Pepper Steak Recipe

Published about 21 hours ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

I've been sharing a few quick stir-fry recipes that we love, and this Jamaican Pepper Steak is one of them. The beef is seasoned with allspice and all-purpose seasoning, seared until browned, then combined with bell peppers, thyme, ginger, green onion, and a savory sauce.

What I love about this one is the flavor combination. It's a stir fry at heart, but the seasoning is unmistakably Caribbean. That allspice and thyme with the soy sauce and ginger is such a good mix. If you've never had Jamaican pepper steak before, it's a perfect example of the Chinese influence in Jamaican cooking.

This recipe has a full-length video. Watch how I make this recipe from start to finish in this video.

One thing I'll say: don't slice your peppers too thin. You want them thick enough to hold up in the stir-fry and still have a little bite when everything's done. If they're too thin, they'll get lost in the beef and sauce.

Serve it over white rice or pair it with my Jamaican Rice and Peas​ for the full experience.

More quick stir-fry dinners to try:

👉🏾 Zucchini Mushroom Chicken​ — a quick stovetop dinner with a simple sauce that coats everything perfectly.

👉🏾 Mongolian Beef​ — sweet, savory, and done in about 30 minutes.

Happy Cooking,

​

country style ribs on plate with green beans and mashed potatoes

Hi Reader, I love BBQ. Not just in the summer when everyone's grilling outside, but year-round. There's something about that smoky, sweet, sticky sauce that I love no matter what month it is. These country-style ribs give you all that BBQ goodness without dealing with a grill in February weather. Country Style Ribs Recipe The technique is simple: low and slow in the oven. You season them, cover them with foil, and cook them at 300°F for over two hours. Then brush them with BBQ sauce, increase...

braised lamb in plate

Hi Reader, I'm a fan of the Cava restaurant, where they have the most flavorful braised lamb bowls with all those fresh toppings and sauces. This is not their exact braised shredded lamb recipe (I don’t know what they put in theirs), but this one? Oh my goodness. It’s so good. This braised lamb has become one of my favorite recipes to make when I want something I can stretch. I cook a big batch, use it in bowls for a few days, and freeze the rest for later. It’s one of those base recipes that...

beef stew in bowl with spoon picking it up

Hi Reader, My husband's heading to Ghana soon, and the other day he mentioned wanting to get a good steak while he's there. I had to tell him, "Babe, I don't think that's really a thing there." It got me thinking about how I grew up. We didn't eat steak. If we had beef at all, it was in stews, portioned out so everyone got some, stretched with a flavorful gravy, served with rice or vegetables. That way, a little bit of meat could feed a lot of people and still feel like a full, satisfying...
