PEPPER STEAK AND RICE RECIPE WITH GRAVY RECIPES

Steps:

• Sprinkle strips of sirloin with garlic powder to taste.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, brown beef strips.
• Transfer beef to crock pot.
• Crush and mix bouillon cube with hot water until dissolved, then stir in cornstarch until dissolved.
• Pour into the crock pot with meat.
• Add red pepper flakes, onion, green peppers, stewed tomatoes, soy sauce, sugar, and salt.
• Cover, and cook on High for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 6 to 8 hours.
• ** If you would like to thicken the sauce for gravy, mix 1 TBS cornstarch with some water and stir into crock pot 1/2 hour before complete cooking time.

Steps:

• Combine the meat with the Essence and flour in a mixing bowl and toss to combine.
• Heat the oil in a large cast iron Dutch oven or high-sided skillet over medium-high heat and brown the meat, in batches, until browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of the chicken broth and stir, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to loosen any browned particles. Add the onions, bell peppers, salt, cayenne, and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the vegetables are wilted. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Add the remaining cup of broth and continue to cook, uncovered, for about 1 hour longer, or until the meat is very tender and the gravy is thickened and flavorful. Add the parsley and serve immediately over white rice, if using.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
