Beef 'n' Peppers

SERVES: 4

COOK TIME: 20 Min

The marinade is the secret to this recipe. The way these citrus and soy flavors "marry" with the meat tells us it's gonna be a winner every time!

What You'll Need

1/3 cup soy sauce
4 tablespoons lime juice
3/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 pound beef top or bottom round steak, cut into 1/2-inch strips
2 red or green bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1/4 cup chopped shallots or onion
2 teaspoons cornstarch

What to Do

In a medium-sized bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, orange juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and sugar; mix until sugar is dissolved. Place beef into marinade and toss to coat. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight. Reserve 2/3 cup of marinade and discard remaining marinade.
Coat a medium-sized skillet or a wok with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Cook meat 8 to 10 minutes or until browned, stirring frequently.
Add bell peppers and shallots and cook an additional 4 to 6 minutes, or until peppers are just tender.
Reduce heat to medium. Add cornstarch to reserved marinade; mix well and slowly add to skillet. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook about 2 minutes, or until liquid thickens and turns glossy.

Notes

When we need a super-quick dinner, we serve this over hot cooked brown or white rice.
