Easy Pepper Steak Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Ib Steak Thinly Sliced
- 2 Bell peppers
- 1 Small Onion
- 1/2 to 1 Tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Low Sodium Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 Packet of Lipton Recipe Secrets Beefy Onion Dry Soup and Dip Mix
- 1 1/2 to 2 Cups Beef Broth or Beef stock Regular or Low-Sodium
- 1/2 tsp Adobo
- 1 tsp McCormick Salt-Free Garlic & Herb
- 1 tsp McCormick Salt-Free Onion & herb
- 1/2 tsp Seasoned black pepper
- Cornstarch slurry: prepare 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water.
- Optional: Splash of Browning sauce (For a darker gravy, completely optional)
- Optional: Pinch of Sugar
Instructions
- Prep the meat beforehand, cut the steak into thin slices against the grain. Season the steak with the adobo, seasoned black pepper, McCormick salt free onion & herb / garlic & herb, a small drizzle of olive oil and the soy sauce.
- Mix all the seasonings into the steak and marinate for at least 15 to 30 minutes.
- Prep the veggies: cut the bell peppers and onion into thin slices, then set aside.
- In a skillet over medium high heat, drizzle the olive oil and allow it to get hot. Once the oil is hot, add the meat to the pan.
- Allow the steak to brown which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Note: the steak will not be fully cooked, it will finish cooking in the gravy. You just want to brown the meat and once it’s browned remove it from the skillet.
- Next, add the sliced veggies to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes.
- Add the beef broth/stock, Worcestershire sauce, Lipton Recipe Secrets Beefy Onion Dry Soup and Dip Mix, and cornstarch slurry. Browning sauce is completely optional. Stir everything together.
- Allow the liquid to come to a broil, then add the browned steak to the pan. Lower the heat to medium-heat and cover with a lid.
- Let the pepper steak simmer until the beef is fully cooked and the gravy has thickened up to your liking.
- Note: Halfway through cooking time do a taste test, add make any adjustments if needed. (If I want or need a little bit more flavor, I just sprinkle a little bit of the salt free onion & Herb and salt free garlic & herb, but you shouldn’t need it).
- Be sure to stir halfway through cooking time. It should take 25 to 35 minutes to finish cooking but use a thermometer to check for doneness if unsure.
- Serve over rice. Add some Plantains and sliced avocado as well, Enjoy!
