FAQ
Round steak is a tough cut of beef. You should always stew it or wet-roast it for a long time on a lower-heat setting .. on the stovetop or in the oven. Add lots of flavoring to your stewing/roasting liquid because it lacks fat (therefore flavor and juiciness too).
Why is my pepper steak tough? It's true that flank steak or any stir fry steak can be a bit tough, but there are a couple of things you can do to help. The first thing to do is to make sure you're cutting the meat across the grain. This will help to shorten the fibres to make the meat less chewy.
Sure, you love the flavor of steak on its own. But when you add some sea salt and ground black pepper to your steak before cooking it, you bring out even more of that savory flavor you love. Seasoning a steak has another not-so-obvious benefit: it can tenderize the meat.
Flank steak is our cut of choice for pepper steak—it's marbled with fat, full of beefy flavor, and easy to cut into thin, tender slices. That being said, flank isn't your only option. Skirt steak will give you a very similar result, or if you're looking for a cheaper choice, sirloin is another great option.
