~~~Pepper Steak with Rice~~~

The other night I made an old standby. We love this meal, it is rich in flavor and simple to prepare. A good go to week night dinner. I start out with about 1 pouund of round staek and slice 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
