Easy Pepper Steak
We live on the eastern edge of the Sand Hills here in Nebraska, where most folks are ranchers. This popular pepper steak recipe is tasty as well as colorful. —Carolyn Butterfield, Atkinson, Nebraska

Delicious! I used a red yellow and green pepper. Pretty dish! Hit with the fam.
Wonderful! I used red, yellow, and orange bell peppers because that is what I had on hand. I used a little crushed tomatoes instead of fresh, since we did not have fresh. I thought it was delightful. Meat was fork-tender and delicious, and the sauce was lovely.
Ok Andrea, this isn’t a dish that requires a $20/pound cut. It’s a top round, cube steak recipe. I’ve even used pork chops and chicken and it turns out great.
Terrible. Steak was entirely too rubbery. 30 min is too long to cook steak. Dinner is ruined.
Made as written. It's a keeper. The flavor of the gravy was great.
BEST EVER. TOSS A LITTLE OF YOUR ON STILE IN......... WOW SOOO EASY.
My husband loves pepper steak. He usually makes it. I followed this recipe pretty closely. OmG, he loved it. There was nothing left!
This was the best pepper steak I have ever made. No left overs!!!
Very simple but delicious. I served it over wide egg noodles as well as rice. Either way it’s great.
I'm just trying to learn how to cook at 64 years of age. I've always cooked really easy things in the past with not much taste. I had no idea how to season food. Then I got the novel idea to use a recipe! This one said it was easy so it was right up my alley. I followed the recipe almost exactly....I used less onion for the first try and I cooked my vegetables a little longer because I like them a bit soft. With the first taste I was like, hmmm, does not taste like my mom's pepper steak. Then I was like, I feel that the taste of the beef broth is overpowering. I had a second plate and afterwards I was spooning the sauce from the pan directly into my mouth. OK, I licked the plate clean, too. I think I liked it.
