Pepper Steak

Ingredients

• 1 lb chuck ((or round, fat trimmed))
• 1/4 cup liquid aminos
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 1/2 tsp fresh ginger ((or round, fat trimmed))
• 1/4 cup coconut oil ((or round, fat trimmed))
• 1 cup onions ((or round, fat trimmed))
• 1 cup green pepper
• 1 cup red pepper
• 1/2 cup tomato juice
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 tbsp corn starch
• cracked black pepper ((or round, fat trimmed))
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup oil

Instructions

1. Cut the beef into 1/8-inch thick strips.
2. Combine soy sauce, garlic, ginger.
3. Add beef.
4. Toss and set aside while preparing vegetables.
5. Heat oil in large frying pan or wok.
6. Add beef and toss over high heat until browned.
7. Test the meat; if it is not tender, cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes over low heat.
8. Turn heat up and add vegetables and tomato juice.
9. Toss until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
10. Mix cornstarch with water.
11. Add to pan; stir and cook until thickened.
12. Season with fresh cracked black pepper.
13. Enjoy! NOTES For a variation on the sauce, add in a stalk of thinly sliced celery with the rest of the vegetables.
14. It will lighten sauce without changing the flavor.
15. Another variation is to use 1 cup of freshly diced tomatoes in place of the tomato juice.
16. The sauce will be thicker and more stew-like, but still have the same great flavor.
17. Pepper steak can be eaten alone, or serve with rice for a heartier meal.
