Pepper Steak That Everyone Loves


If you're anything like me, you have a child or other picky eaters.  I am always trying to find meals that will satisfy everyone and that is healthy.  I would much rather cook a meal at home than go out to eat but I get bored of the same old dinners.  So I am on a mission to try at least one new recipe a week.  Today the pick was pepper steak which, to me, is another intimating recipe.  I'm not sure why but it just sounds complex; however, I have found a non-complicated version that will blow your mind.  It is amazing and super easy!
You'll Need:
A package of round steak that you cut into bite size pieces and cut off the excess fat
1/3 cup flour
1 Tbsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
3 Tbsp. soy sauce (you may need more but start with this)
2 Large green peppers, sliced
1 Large red pepper, sliced
1/4 tsp. salt
Sprinkle of onion powder (you can use actual onion if you wish)

Step One:
Put the flour and pepper onto a plate.  Once the steak is cut into bite sized pieces roll them in the flour mixed with pepper and place them in a skillet that has oil in it.  Brown the steak.
Step Two:
While the steak is browning, add the other ingredients.  You can watch and see if the mixture becomes dry, add more soy sauce and approx. 1/2 cup of water.  You want a rue mixture, that's what makes it so yummy!
Step Three:
Simmer the mixture until the meat is completely done, approx. 20 min.  Serve with cooked rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes! I promise there will be very little left over because the flavor is amazing!
This recipe could easily be adapted to the crock pot, just complete the following steps first and throw it all in the crockpot and cook for 1-2 hours on high. 
There ya have it! A delicious, healthy meal, that everyone will love. 
Cooking Tip: Brown your meat before you add in other ingredients, bake it, or throw it in the crockpot.  This locks in the flavor and keeps it from getting chewy.
