Steak with Three Peppers

Fresh ginger and garlic season this mouthwatering mixture of beef strips, sweet peppers, romaine lettuce and crunchy water chestnuts. "My husband loves stir-fry," writes Katherine Prier of Conway, Missouri. "I like it, too, because it's quick, easy and cleanup is a breeze since everything cooks in one pan."—Katherine Prier, Conway, Missouri

    Excellent one dish meal. I cut the recipe in half and had enough for three servings. This is one of those recipes that can use any vegetable. Delicious.

    My family really enjoyed this stir fry, we actually served dinner for six rather than four people with it. I made the recipe pretty much as written, but added some broccoli florets that I needed to use up. I served this with sesame noodles rather than the rice. I think next time I may leave out the water chestnuts (just not a fan of them), but other than that, a great meal.
