Pepper Steak

My sister Bonny told me I had to make this Pepper Steak recipe!  She said it is so easy and it's a good "go-to" recipe b/c she usually has all the ingredients.  She even changes up the meat according to what she has.  She has used chicken, different types of steak and even ground beef!  She said it's all really good, and not to be scared away from the ground beef, it for real is good!  So, I made it and I was very impressed.  It has great flavor, was pretty dang simple to make and yummy.  It reminded me of stir fry.  My hubby thinks I should add broccoli to it b/c it reminds him of the broccoli beef from Panda Express, I think that's a great idea, and I'll try it next time.

Pepper Steak

I used this Beef Round steak b/c it was cheap, chin and plenty of it.

Chop up the meat and all the veggies.  The directions say to cook separate, but I went ahead and cooked the meat and veggies together at the same time.  Next time I'll for sure use my wok, I don't know why I didn't.

Just in case you don't know what Water Chestnuts look like, here they are!  My sister doesn't like these so she keeps these out.  But, I think they're good!

Dissolve beef bullion and sugar in hot water.

Mix bullion water and water chestnuts in and simmer.

Serve over rice.  Yum!
