This classic pepper steak features thinly sliced beef simmered until tender with bright green bell peppers, onions, and diced tomatoes. A quick dredge in flour helps thicken the savory, garlic-infused pan sauce as the meat cooks. It makes a hearty, comforting weeknight dinner when spooned over a warm bowl of cooked rice. The combination of dried oregano and browning sauce adds a deep, rich flavor to every bite.

Ingredients
1 lb. beef sirloin, flank or round steak, thinly sliced
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 to 2 T. oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste
1 t. dried oregano
1 t. browning and seasoning sauce
1 green pepper, sliced
3/4 c. canned diced tomatoes
1 onion, chopped cooked rice
Instructions
1Coat the sliced beef evenly with the all-purpose flour and set it aside. Warm the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add the beef and cook until well browned. Drain any excess fat from the pan, then pour in just enough water to completely cover the meat.
2Mix in the chopped garlic, garlic powder, salt, pepper, dried oregano, and browning sauce. Bring the liquid to a boil, then lower the heat, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
3Stir the diced tomatoes, chopped onion, and sliced green pepper into the skillet. Continue cooking for another 15 minutes until the beef is completely tender.
4Remove the skillet from the heat once the vegetables are softened. Spoon the rich pepper steak and its savory sauce generously over warm cooked rice to serve.
