How to Make Sheet Pan Pepper Steak
1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Make the Marinade
In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the beef strips and toss well to coat. Let it marinate for 15–20 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor).
3. Add the Veggies
Add the sliced peppers and onions to the bowl with the marinated beef. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
4. Roast
Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables are tender with slightly caramelized edges.
5. Optional Glaze
For a glossy finish, remove the pan and drizzle a tablespoon of soy sauce or a splash of teriyaki sauce over the top before serving.

Tips for Success
-
Cut against the grain: This keeps the beef tender and easy to chew.
-
Use a hot oven: The high temperature helps the meat brown beautifully and the veggies stay crisp.
-
Don’t overcrowd the pan: If needed, use two baking sheets so everything roasts instead of steams.
-
Add a kick: Mix in chili flakes or a drizzle of sriracha for spicy lovers.
