Pepper Steak

This recipe comes from my friend & neighbor, Timeka. She just made it a few days ago and it sounded really good, so I asked for the recipe. Enjoy!

1 lb beef (round or sirloin)

2 Tbsp. shortening or oil

1/4 cup Soy Sauce

1-1/2 cup Water

2 medium onions, cut into strips

2 bell peppers (I usually use green, yellow and red to make it colorful), cut into strips

2 Tbsp. cornstarch

cooked rice

Cut steak into small strips or cubes. 

Brown in shortening or oil for about 5 minutes or until tender.

Add the soy sauce and 1 1/4 cups of the water. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the onions and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add the bell peppers. Cook until tender.

Mix the remaining 1/4 cup of water with the cornstarch. Stir until no lumps remain. Add to the beef mixture. Allow it to continue simmering until the sauce thickens.

Serve over a bed of warm rice.
