So it was less of a deal for me. But if you do takeout, this $20 deal is THE BEST (even at $25), and I think it should stick around for longer than April 17.<\/p>\n<p>Did you hear, um, read me, Panda Express!<\/p>\n<h3>How is it?<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019ve consumed a lot of different black pepper-flavored products over the years, and every single one of them had a bold black pepper flavor, which is what I was expecting with this. So I\u2019m surprised by the mild usage of the seasoning in the sauce.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Panda-Express-Black-Pepper-Angus-Steak-Meat.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Panda Express Black Pepper Angus Steak Meat\" title=\"Panda Express Black Pepper Angus Steak Meat.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While chewing on forkfuls of tender Angus steak pieces, veggies, and savory sauce, there was one word I couldn\u2019t get out of my head: pizza.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, that\u2019s an odd word to put in a Panda Express review and the taste isn&#8217;t always there. Maybe it\u2019s my subconscious telling me I should eat pizza instead of Panda. I dunno. But the combination of the savory sauce and tender Angus steak pieces starts off a little peppery and then it morphs into a flavor that&#8217;s like the Italian sausage on a pizza. Also, I feel the crunchy bell peppers and onions maybe help push the flavor in my mind.<\/p>\n<p>Look, the whole pizza thing is weird, but despite that, I love it. It\u2019s my new favorite Panda Express Angus steak entree, and I hope it sticks around.<\/p>\n<p>Did you hear, um, read me, Panda Express!<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Panda-Express-Black-Pepper-Angus-Steak-Baby-Broccoli.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Panda Express Black Pepper Angus Steak Baby Broccoli\" title=\"Panda Express Black Pepper Angus Steak Baby Broccoli.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t know baby broccoli was a thing. Baby carrots? Yes. Baby corn? Yes. Baby bok choy? Yes. Also, while I\u2019m on a baby vegetable tangent, I think Brussels sprouts should be renamed to baby cabbages.<\/p>\n<p>The baby broccoli\u2019s size varies from infant to toddler. The thin infant ones are adorable, but the thicker ones look as if some watercress walked into the wok somehow.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Although its flavor reminds me of Italian sausage and pizza, I think Panda Express\u2019 Black Pepper Angus Steak that doesn\u2019t taste like it has a lot of black pepper is worth the premium price.\t<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $25 (as part of special $25 Family Meal deal)<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> N\/A<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (5.10 oz) 180 calories, 7 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, 750 milligrams of sodium, 10 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 6 grams of sugar, and 19 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Panda Express\u2019 Black Pepper Angus Steak?
