15 Minute Pepper Lunch Ingredients

Thinly sliced beef (sirloin or ribeye works best)
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
Chopped green onions (for garnish)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp honey
4 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp mirin
1 tsp onion powder

black pepper
Cooked white rice
Cooking oil

Instruction

In a bowl, combine black pepper, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, mirin, and onion powder. Mix well and set aside.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until translucent and slightly golden.

Move the sautéed onions to the center of the pan. Place a bowl of cooked rice over the onions (like a little mountain).

Arrange the sliced beef around the rice.

Sprinkle corn over the entire dish and add green onions on top.

Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the beef, rice, and veggies. Add a pat of butter on top for extra richness.

Let everything sizzle until the beef is fully cooked and the sauce thickens slightly. Mix everything together before serving, or enjoy it hot straight from the pan!

Storage

Let it cool down to room temperature to prevent sogginess when storing. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.

To reheat, microwave for 1-minute intervals, stirring until it is hot enough.
