Transport your taste buds to the Orient with this quick-cooking steak and bell peppers in a flavorful sauce.
This pepper steak is so quick, easy and delicious, you can make it right at home–in less than 30 minutes. There’s nothing more tasty and easy than pepper steak.
This is definitely No.1 steak recipe in our household.
I made it also with veal, since true steak is not so accessible (or costs a fortune) here in Croatia, since we have different kind of cow breed here, so, wherever I go to Austria, I buy at least 4 pounds, so I’m settled for 1-2 month.
