Pepper steak is an easy weeknight dinner and boy is this a good recipe. The steak is cooked tender with peppers that soak up the flavor of the savory tomato gravy. Excellent served over rice. This meal is going to become a family favorite and end up in your weekly dinner rotation. The Test Kitchen

How to Make Pepper Steak

Step-by-Step

Heat the Crisco in a large skillet over med-high heat.
Brown the sirloin tips - about 10-15 min.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, salt and pepper, beef cube and the 1 cup of hot water.
Cover and simmer for 20 to 25 min.
Add the drained tomatoes and chopped green pepper. Cook an additional 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the corn starch, 1/4 cup cold water, and soy sauce.
Stir this into the meat mixture and bring to a boil.
Turn the heat back down to medium and cook 5-10 minutes longer.
I like to serve this over rice. Enjoy!
