Instructions:
-
Prepare Rice:
- While rice is cooking, ensure it reaches a fluffy texture. Set aside once done.
-
-
Prepare Steak:
- If using thicker steak cuts, pound the meat to a 1/4-inch thickness. Alternatively, sandwich steaks or inside/outside round cuts can be used to eliminate the need for pounding.
- Sprinkle paprika evenly over the meat and allow it to marinate while preparing other ingredients.
-
Brown the Meat:
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add the steak to the skillet and brown it on both sides until it achieves a golden color.
-
Simmer with Garlic and Broth:
- Add minced garlic to the skillet, stirring it with the steak.
- Pour in beef broth, covering the skillet, and reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Let the steak simmer in the broth for about 30 minutes, allowing it to absorb the flavors.
-
Add Vegetables:
- Stir in sliced green onions and green peppers, evenly distributing them among the steak.
- Cover the skillet again and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.
-
Thicken the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine cornstarch, water, and soy sauce, creating a slurry.
- Pour the slurry into the skillet, stirring it into the meat and vegetable mixture.
- Continue stirring until the sauce thickens and becomes clear, which typically takes about 2 minutes.
-
Final Touch:
- Gently add diced tomatoes to the skillet, incorporating them into the dish.
- Allow the flavors to meld together for a minute or two.
-
Serve:
- Plate the Pepper Steak over the fluffy rice, ensuring each serving is generously topped with the savory sauce and tender vegetables.
- Enjoy this delightful dish with your family and friends, savoring the memories it brings with each delicious bite!
