Asian Steak Topped with pepper Stir-Fry

This vibrant Asian steak topped with pepper stir-fry is a fantastic way to enjoy a lean protein dinner bursting with aromatic flavour. By marinating the beef in a punchy blend of Thai-style chilli sauce, ginger, and soy, the meat becomes incredibly tender and savoury. Searing the steak before finishing it in the oven ensures a perfect crust, while the quick-fired peppers and onions provide a satisfying crunch and a boost of essential vitamins.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish focuses on high-quality protein and colourful vegetables rather than heavy carbohydrates. It is a sophisticated yet simple meal that fits perfectly into a healthy lifestyle without compromising on taste. Serve these steaks on their own for a light supper, or pair them with a small portion of brown rice or cauliflower rice for a complete, wholesome dinner.

How to make Asian Steak Topped with pepper Stir-Fry

Preheat oven to 191°C. Whisk chilli sauce, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and ginger in medium bowl; add steaks and turn to coat. Let marinate at room temperature 15 minutes, turning occasionally.

Heat 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil in large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Scrape most of marinade off steaks and back into bowl. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper; add to skillet and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn steaks over and transfer skillet to oven. Roast until cooked to desired doneness, about 5 minutes longer for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to cutting board; let rest 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and peppers; sauté until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add spring onions and all remaining marinade from steaks. Bring to boil. Stir in coriander. Cut steaks crosswise in half. Divide steaks among 4 plates. Spoon vegetables over steaks and serve.
