~~~Pepper Steak with Rice~~~

Today I thought I would repost a favorite recipe of ours. It is a simple recipe and very flavorful. A great week night dinner, and after having turkey for some reason we crave a little beef:)  Hope you enjoy it if you try it. I start out with a pound of round steak and pound it thin and cut it into strips.

 I add the 2 cloves of garlic, chopped fine into a bowl

 then add the oil and the meat strips and combine

 next, add the TBSP of paprika to the mix and mix it all together and let sit while you slice your vegetables.

 green pepper, I did 2 medium ones

 Now, add the meat to a skillet and brown on both sides,

 I didn't get a picture but you then add the beef broth and simmer this for 30 mins., covered.

 Add your peppers and onions and let cook for 5 mins. more.

 Then you add the fresh tomatoes and gently stir them into the mix and heat for about 2-3 mins.

 Serve over rice and ENJOY!!!

 

Here is the recipe I use:

3 cups hot cooked rice

1lb. round steak

1T. paprika

2 cloves garlic, crushed (I use the chopped garlic from a jar if I don't have fresh)

1 can beef broth

1 cup sliced green onions (I use yellow onions, 1 LARGE, since we LOVE onions!)

2 green peppers, cut in strips

2 T. corn starch

1/4 cup each of water (I use Sherry) and soy sauce

2 large, fresh tomatoes cut into 1/8ths

Directions:

While rice is cooking cut round steak into strips and put into bowl with 1 Tbsp. oil, garlic and paprika.Using a large skillet, brown meat. Add broth, cover and simmer for 30 mins. Stir in onions and green papper and cook 5 mins. more.Blend cornstarch, sherry and soy and stir into meat mixture til clear and thickened, about 2 mins. Add tomatoes and stir gently. Serve over rice.

Makes 31/2 servings.....unless you have my Joe at the table:):)
