Notes
The key to this dish lies in its preparation. Begin by thinly slicing the beef, bell pepper, and onion, ensuring they cook evenly. Seasoning the beef with garlic powder, ginger, and soy sauce infuses it with rich flavors. Adding brown sugar balances the savory notes with a hint of sweetness. The cooking process is simplified with the use of an Instant Pot, which combines pressure cooking and sautéing to perfection. The cornstarch slurry is the final touch, thickening the sauce to coat the ingredients beautifully.
