Pepper Steak

Pepper steak is one of the quickest meal for me to make when I'm pressed for time or tired. This is always one meal that I mostly eat at home or a restaurant I frequent! You just can't be too safe anymore...LOL! I want to be sure I'm eating beef and not something else! I'm not going any further on this topic...you get me drift? ;) I'm just saying... (LT) LOL! Anyway, I serve the pepper steak over some long grain white rice with steam broccoli! Delish!

Ingredients:

3 Tbsps butter or oil
1 1/2 pds round or flank steak
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced onions
1 cup diced celery
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tsp sugar
2 bay leaves
3 large green peppers
1 1/2 large red peppers
1 plum tomato, chopped
1 1/2 tsps cornstarch
2 tsps soy sauce
1/4 cup cold water

Heat butter over med.-high heat, brown meat, remove and set aside. Reduce heat, saute onions for 5 minutes. Return meat to skillet, add remaining ingredients except peppers, cornstarch, soy sauce and water. Cook for about 5 minutes and then add peppers and simmer covered for 10 minutes. Blend cornstarch, soy sauce, and water in a dish; stir into meat mixture. Cook until thick and clear, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Enjoy!
