Description

Stir-fry beef strips with green peppers, then serve in a savory tomato sauce for an easy supper that's on the table in an hour.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds beef round steak, cut into thin strips
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can beef consomme
4 medium green bell peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon white sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups hot cooked rice

Directions

1 Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; quickly cook and stir sliced beef in hot oil until meat has begun to brown and is no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
2 Whisk together condensed soup, beef consommé, green peppers, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, ginger, garlic salt, and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring sauce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until bell peppers have begun to soften, about 10 minutes.
3 Stir in beef; simmer until bell peppers are cooked and flavors have blended, about 20 more minutes. Serve over hot cooked rice.
