In reply to Patricia Mejia. Thanks for your feedback. Sorry to hear the dish turned out too salty for you. The salty ingredients in the recipe, such as soy sauce, oyster sauce and salt, can vary quite a bit between varieties and brands. Also, some versions of Shaoxing rice wine contain added salt, which is why I recommend checking the buying tips in my Shaoxing wine post. I appreciate you giving the recipe a try.

Way too salty 😔, it looked beautiful and the meat and veggies were perfect except the salt and soy sauce was way too much. Need to tweak this one

Made according to recipe but added mushrooms garlic ginger and doubled sauce. It was a great hit.

I made this last night, and it was terrific, thank you, and I never ordered pepper steak from a restaurant, but homemade? This is now a favorite. I made some changes to the recipe, not because it was lacking, but because I have health issues that demand it: no gluten, no lactose (doesn’t apply here, of course), salt debilitates me, and now peanuts and peanut oil give me a problem, so…I can only use low sodium tamari instead of light and dark soy, my oyster sauce and hoi sin sauce are gluten free, but I can’t find any that are low sodium as well, I use avocado oil for stir fry, so far so good. I also used boneless chuck steak, but grass fed, and that cut like butter and had more flavor then other cuts, and grass fed and finished is better for us.
