Pepper Steak

Here's another recipe from... dun-dun-DUNNNN...The Mother-in-law Files. When I served this to IT Guy and told him it was one of his mom's recipes, he looked a little confused. He told me he didn't remember eating this when he lived at home. Too bad for him....because it's REALLY good!

Pepper Steak

 

1 pound round steak ~ cut into small serving sized pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion ~ sliced
1 clove garlic ~ minced
1 beef bullion cube
1 1/4 cup water ~ divided use
1 14-ounce can stewed tomatoes
2 green bell peppers
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat a large skillet. Add olive oil.

Add meat to the skillet and and cook for about 15 minutes.

Add onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper.

Dissolve bullion cube in 1 cup of the water and pour over meat and onions.

The line-up....

Pour the water/bullion into with the meat.

Let it thicken up some then serve over rice or noodles!!
