Ingredients

  • 1 medium white onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 lb beef top round steak
  • 1 cup beef broth (or stock)
  • ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • ¼ cup water

Steps

    1. Slice onion thinly; chop garlic finely. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Pour 1 tablespoon oil into pan, then stir in onions and garlic; cook and stir 3 minutes until onions begin to soften and garlic is fragrant. Remove onions and garlic from pan.
    2. Slice beef into 3-inch-long, ¼-inch-wide strips (wash hands). Pour remaining 1 tablespoon oil into same pan; add beef and cook 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Combine broth, soy sauce, sugar, pepper, and hot pepper sauce in small bowl. Reduce heat to low and return onions and garlic to pan. Stir broth mixture into pan; cover and simmer 30 minutes or until beef is 145°F.
    3. Slice bell peppers thinly; chop tomatoes. Add peppers and tomatoes to beef mixture; cover and cook 5 minutes or until peppers have softened slightly. Combine cornstarch and water; pour into pan and stir continuously until sauce has thickened. Serve.
