Jamaican Style Pepper Steak Recipe


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.

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 Peasโ€‹ for the full experience.

More quick stir-fry dinners to try:

Happy Cooking,

Tanya holding BBQ shrimp

Hi Reader, We spent spring break in New Orleans and had the best time. A gator tour, more food than I can list, and a whole lot of walking it off after. The BBQ shrimp stuck with me. It's not actually barbecued. It's jumbo shrimp simmered in a buttery, garlicky, Worcestershire-spiked sauce, and you eat it with crusty bread for soaking up every last bit of that sauce. Nothing sweet, nothing sticky, just bold Louisiana flavor in one skillet. ๐Ÿด Get the recipe: New Orleans BBQ Shrimp. If this one...
