Ingredients

    24 oz Beef, top sirloin
    3 Med. Green Bell Pepper
    1 Onion, yellow, raw
    4 cups (2 15-oz. cans)Tomato Sauce
    1/4 tsp Garlic powder
    1 dash Pepper, black
    1 tsp Cumin - Ground
    1 tsp Chili powder
    1 tsp Onion powder
    1 tsp Paprika
    2 cups (8 fl oz) Water, tap
    1/4 cup Flour, white
    2 tsp olive oil

Tips

Leave the thickening step until the end; if thickener is added early, the mixture will tend to stick to the pan and burn. The longest stage is cooking the meat until it is tender. After that it goes pretty quickly.


Directions

1. Trim fat from meat and cut into 1/2 to 1-inch pieces.
2. Cut peppers into short strips, 1/2-inch wide.
3. Cut onion into short strips to "match" peppers.
4. Brown meat quickly in large pot in small amount of olive oil.
5. Add 1/2 cup of peppers, the tomato sauce, one tomato-can water, and all the spices.
6. Bring to boil and turn down to a simmer. Cover with lid and allow to simmer, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender.
7. Add all the onions and all of the rest of the pepper and simmer just until vegetables are tender.
8. Mix flour and approx. 1/2 cup water in a cup or small bowl until smooth.
9. Stir flour and water mixture slowly into the simmering meat and vegetable concoction until incorporated.
10. Stir constantly until pepper steak is thickened. Adjust with water, if too thick; mix a little more flour and water if it's too thin.
Serve over rice or scrambled eggs.

Serving Size: Makes about 6 servings of 10-12 ounces.
