About This Dish

Black Pepper Sirloin Steak is the premium entree Panda Express charges extra for, and the one regulars say is worth it: real sirloin wok seared with baby broccoli, onions and mushrooms in a coarse black pepper sauce, 180 calories a serving with 19 g of protein, ordered in formats from $8.50 plus the upcharge announced at the register.

The cut is the story. Sirloin sliced thick enough to chew properly, seared hard so the outside picks up color while the middle stays pink, then finished in a pepper sauce that leans savory rather than sweet. Baby broccoli keeps a stem crunch that regular florets never manage, and the mushrooms soak up the pan sauce. It arrives darker and less glossy than everything around it on the line, which is how you spot it from a distance.

Black Pepper Sirloin Steak calories are only 180 with 19 g of protein and 12 g of carbs, which gives it one of the strongest macro lines in the entire store: nearly a gram of protein for every nine calories, with a carb count low enough for a keto build. Fat lands at 6 g and sodium at 590 mg. Flags are wheat, soy and sesame from the sauce base.

How much is Black Pepper Sirloin Steak? It carries a premium upcharge on top of any format, set by the store and told to you before you pay. A Bowl at $8.50 plus the upcharge remains the cheapest full serving.

It suits anyone who wants the best protein on the menu and does not mind paying for it, and it is the single best argument against the idea that fast food Chinese means battered chicken. Pair it with Super Greens at 130 calories for a bowl that reads like a proper steak dinner, or with half chow mein when the steak deserves company. Broccoli Beef at 150 calories is the everyday alternative without the upcharge.

How to Make Black Pepper Sirloin Steak at Home

Sirloin at home wants two things: a very hot pan and a short cook. The pepper sauce comes together while the meat rests, so nothing overcooks waiting.

Tips

  • Rest the steak off the heat while the sauce cooks; returning it at the end keeps it pink.
  • Butter at the end gives the sauce the restaurant gloss.
  • Baby broccoli beats regular florets here for both texture and looks.

Variations

  • Flank or skirt steak work with the same method at lower cost.
  • Add sliced red chili for heat alongside the pepper.
  • Portobello mushrooms instead of steak make a convincing meatless version.

Serve it with: Steamed rice or nothing. This is the one entree on the menu that stands alone as a plate of food.
