Pepper Steak

 

Pepper Steak is such an easy weekday dinner.  Serve over rice and it's a complete meal.  When I was first married, we had pepper steak quite often, it was quick and easy.

Ingredients

1 pound of beef sirloin
2 Tablespoons of oil
2 medium peppers (any color) cut into strips
2 medium onions or 1 large
1-2 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cup soy sauce

2 Tablespoons cornstarch

Cut beef across the grain into thin strips.  Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in a skillet, add beef and brown for 5-7 minutes. Once the meat has browned remove from pan and set aside.  Add the other Tablespoon of oil into the same skillet along with the garlic, onions and peppers stir fry for a few minutes.
