This is a family favorite recipe for pepper steak. I like to serve this over rice.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Pepper steak is an easy weeknight dinner and boy is this a good recipe. The steak is cooked tender with peppers that soak up the flavor of the savory tomato gravy. Excellent served over rice. This meal is going to become a family favorite and end up in your weekly dinner rotation.
