Pepper Steak

The Pepper Steak is one of our family favorites. It is easy to make and a good recipe to introduce you to the art of stir-frying.

1 cup beef broth
3 Tb. soy sauce
2 pkg. artificial sweetener or 4 tsp. sugar

1 Tb. oil
1 lb. round steak, sliced 1/4" thick,
cut in strips
1 clove garlic, minced

2 green peppers, coarsely chopped
2 red peppers, coarsely chopped
4 medium onions , coarsely chopped

1 Tb. cornstarch mixed with 2 Tb. Water

Combine broth, soy sauce and sweetener; set aside.

In wok heat oil and add beef. Stir-fry until lightly browned.

Add garlic; then remove beef and garlic. Garlic burns fast in the wok so remove it quickly.

To same wok, add peppers and onions; stir-fry 3 to 4 minutes.

Add broth, beef and garlic. Cover and cook 5 minutes.

Add cornstarch; bring to a boil.

Serve with rice.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
