a beef-and-green-pepper Chinese-type dish? We were visiting relatives and they decided to go for take-out Chinese one night. Roger is not a fan of Chinese cuisine, but he graciously selelected an entree containing beef and peppers, and actually liked it.
I'd like to try to make this for him, as I love Chinese food, but do not get to enjoy it as much as I would like to.
Thanks!
What you are most likely looking for is Beef Pepper Steak. I will look around and see if I have one. That is also a dish that Randy will eat. He also likes Cashew Chicken. Other than that, forget it!
Hi,
Found this one for you. I hope you enjoy.
1 lb. boneless round steak
1 T. cornstarch
1/2 C. water
2 medium-sized green peppers
hot rice to serve four
cooking oil
4 T. soy sauce
Chinese rice noodles (optional)
While some ice still clings to steak and it is still slightly frozen, with a very sharp knife cut thin strips of steak diagonally across. Heat oil in pan that has a cover. Brown thin strips of steak quickly (similar to stir fry technique). When all strips have been browned, add water to cover (be sure not to use too much water) and soy sauce. Reduce heat to simmer and cook until meat is tender (approximately 30-45 minutes).
After meat is cooked, mix cornstarch with 1/2 cup water. Stir until cornstarch is dissolved. Set aside. Quarter green peppers, remove seeds and add to pan. Cook green peppers for approximately 5 minutes on simmer. Add cornstarch mixture. Stir until thickened. Remove from heat. Pepper steak will have a slightly-glazed appearance. Spoon over rice and add Chinese noodles, if desired. Serve with soy sauce, as a few extra shakes of soy sauce adds flavor to this dish.

My mom sent me an awesome recipe for Beef Pepper Steak. I'm at work now but I'll post it for you later tonight when I get home. She usually serves it with rich but I sometimes serve it over egg noodles as my husband likes it better. It's really yummy!
