    Between my Dump-and-Bake General Tso Chicken, my Dump-and-Bake Kung Pao Chicken, my Dump-and-Bake Sweet and Sour Chicken, and now my Dump-and-Bake Chinese Pepper Steak, I feel like I've been on a real dump-and-bake Chinese food kick.

    In this recipe, I've used plenty of lean protein, fresh bell peppers, and sweet sliced onion to create a nourishing and satisfying dinner that bakes on ONE TRAY in about 15 minutes. How awesome is that?!

    It's so perfect for a last-minute meal on a busy night.

    How do you make pepper steak and rice?

    In this recipe, I'm just preparing the beef and vegetables in a sweet and savory sauce. I'll get to the rice in just a minute...

    First, you'll start by whisking together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and pepper. Nothing fancy and no weird ingredients!Sauce for Chinese Pepper Steak

    Then line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil, spray with cooking spray, and spread the sliced bell peppers, onion, and boneless beef sirloin steak in a single layer on the prepared pan.Raw ingredients for Chinese Pepper Steak on a sheet pan

    Pour half of the sauce over the beef and vegetables, and toss to coat. Reserve the other half of the sauce for later.

    The pan goes into a 450 degree F oven for about 10-14 minutes (or until the beef is cooked to your liking). A little garnish of sliced green onion and sesame seeds finish off the dish!

    For the rice, you can really just go with your favorite or most convenient option. Here are a few ideas:

    • Use microwaveable packets of white, basmati, or brown rice (such as Uncle Ben's Ready Rice or Minute Rice);
    • Prepare instant rice on the stove;
    • Prepare regular rice on the stove;
    • Use a rice cooker for the perfect Asian "sticky rice" (I love this one);
    • Make your own cauliflower rice or microwave a bag of frozen cauliflower rice for a quick grain-free option!

        OH! Thank you for catching that typo, Mary! After testing the recipe a couple of times, I decided to swap out the honey for brown sugar, so you don't need the honey at all. I'll fix that in the instructions! Thanks again for noticing!

      Good, quick, easy clean up. Felt like it could have had a little stronger flavor, but was good overall.

      Very good and so easy. I did increase the brown sugar slightly and used low sodium soy sauce. But a great recipe that I will make often.
