Pepper Steak

 Below is a pretty standard pepper steak recipe...I'm not a huge fan of steak, but this recipe is always so good, and a quick meal to put together at the last minute...and I just realized I have no steak recipes posted!  Round or loin steak are great cuts to implement into recipes to cut down on the fat content.  I doubled the sauce from the original recipe, which ended with a nice ratio of meat to sauce to rice.   Enjoy!!!
