Savory, buttery, addicting, and delicious Taiwanese Black Pepper Steak, just like the ones you find at night markets. You would be surprised how easy and quick it is to make Black Pepper Steak sauce with only a few simple ingredients that you already have at home. What is a better way to start the weekend than a big sizzle plate for Taiwanese Black Pepper Steak?
After a few trials and errors, I am excited to share my EASY, QUICK, and delicious Taiwanese Black Pepper Steak, the perfect balance between savory, sweet, slightly tangy, and super buttery.
All you need is shallots, garlic, butter, Worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup, sugar, and black pepper! I never thought I would be able to taste flavors so close to home, miles away.
In Taiwan, you can have Black Pepper Steak with rice or noodles. I am using rice today since that is what I have in hand, but you can also use pasta noodles with a fried egg on the side.
I was also craving Pepper Lunch today, so here is my hybrid version of Taiwanese Black Pepper Steak and Japanese Pepper Lunch. Any beef cut will work, but make sure to cut it into thin slices to cook quickly and not become tough. You can also use my Black Pepper Steak sauce to just pour over grilled steak or use it as a stir-fry sauce; the choices are endless!
