Mom's Pepper Steak

Submitted by Slatts

"My mom used to make this a lot when I was a kid. My mother was really good at taking any meat and making it tender. Choose whatever cut of beef you want but definately adjust the cooking time. We enjoy it at least once a month in my household. Sometimes I put a pat of butter on my rice before ladeling the pepper steak on top. Yum!"

Terrific - tender and flavorful! I had plenty of liquid and didn't have to add any water. I simmered with the lid on for a little more than an hour, then removed the lid and simmered for an additional 15 minutes to thicken the sauce. Served over rice, this was fantastic - thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for Spring PAC 2009
