Description

This comforting Pepper Steak Strips recipe delivers a hearty, international-inspired flavor profile perfect for busy weeknights. Tender round steak strips are marinated for maximum tenderness, then cooked with savory onions, earthy mushrooms, and crisp green peppers. The sauce combines stewed tomatoes, bouquet sauce, and dried thyme for a complex, rich base that coats every bite. Finished with a light flour-thickened gravy, this dish is incredibly satisfying when served over fluffy hot rice. Its a simple, family-friendly meal that brings restaurant-quality taste to your home kitchen with minimal effort and pantry staples.

Note

Cut the round steak into uniform strips, approximately 1/8 inch thick by 3 inches long, for even cooking.

If you do not have bouquet sauce, you can substitute with a mixture of soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce.

For a healthier option, use water instead of red wine, or substitute with beef broth for added flavor without alcohol.

Let the dish rest for 2-3 minutes after microwaving to allow the sauce to set slightly before serving.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave, adding a splash of water if the sauce thickens too much.
