Pepper Steak

Pepper steak is a simple, delicious dish that takes less than 15 minutes to prepare. It makes a wonderful main meal, as well as tasty (leftover) pepper steak wraps for super fast lunches during the week.
When slicing steak, always cut across the grain, rather than With the grain. This helps to make the meat less "chewy" and more tender, particularly on tougher cuts of meat.
