I got this recipe from my sister, and it quickly became my favorite pepper-steak recipe, even over the one we had grown up with! You can use extra-lean ground beef instead of steak for a more frugal version, if you like.
Ingredients:
1 lb beef steaks, sliced thin or 1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 tablespoon oil (omit if using ground beef)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 large bell peppers, sliced
2 large onions, sliced
3/4 teaspoon beef bouillon granules or 3/4 teaspoon au jus mix
3/4 cup hot water
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup cold water
1 teaspoon sugar
cooked rice or noodles, as desired
Directions:
1. Saute steak in oil (if using ground beef, omit oil).
2. Add garlic, ginger, salt and pepper.
3. Cook 1 minute.
4. Remove meat and keep warm.
5. Add peppers and onions to same pan; cook til crisp-tender.
6. Add beef flavoring, hot water, and water chestnuts.
7. Combine cornstarch, soy sauce, cold water and sugar; stir into skillet.
8. Add meat; bring to a boil.
9. Cook and stir 2 minutes more.
10. Serve over hot rice or noodles.
