Evev though my 11-year old, picked out all the veggies, everybody in my family loved this! Didn't have any water chestnuts, so I added 2 cups of sliced crimini (brown) mushrooms in the last minute of sautéing the bell peppers and onions.

I tried this receipe today and it is really good, it is as close to restaurant taste as I have ever tasted. I added a little brown sugar to the sauce and it was delicious, my husband kept telling me how good it was. Thank you

Excellent! This was a restaurant quality dish. Very easy directions and perfect mixture of flavors. I used red, yellow and green peppers that went beautifully atop a bed of brown rice. Thanks Audrey!

This was an easy and good recipe for pepper steak. I did sub the steak with veggie steak. I liked the water chesnuts, it give the dish an extra crunch. The sauce was good and very easy to make. I will make this again and also recommend it. I think this is also a good beginner's recipe. It was easy to follow and came out just as I imagined it to.Thanks

i have made this a few times now, and i even substitute the beef with pork.it is very good! my sister loves it. the pork is a lot more tender than the beef, but either way is fabulous.
