This recipe was SO easy. Simple ingredients. Short grocery list. My husband is a picky eater, but he really enjoyed the pepper steak, as well as our 14-year grandson. I followed the recipe, no add-ins. THANK U.

Thank you for sharing this awesome recipe. My entire family enjoyed. I added a bit more soy sauce to the pot- my only change.

My kids are crazy about pepper steak. So this was a fantastic recipe. We made it tonight and it was delicious. However, I must say I added and replaced some of the ingredients. I replaced the broth with a beef bullion I use knorr. I also added 3 stalks of celery, 2 green peppers, one red pepper and one can of Goya tomatoes sauce. In addition, I added 1/4 soy sauce to my mixture. My meat was season with garlic powder and added more 2 tablespoon of paprika.

I was very pleased with how this turned out! I did season my beef a little more by adding a little salt, pepper, and steak seasoning. I will not use frozen already sliced peppers again (my choice, not the recipes) as I felt they became a little too soft.
