Note

For best results, use a lean cut like round steak or flank steak for this recipe.

If using canned tomatoes, include the liquid from the can to help create the gravy base.

Adjust the amount of soy sauce to taste if you prefer a saltier or milder flavor.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.

You can substitute green peppers with red or yellow bell peppers for a sweeter flavor and colorful presentation.

For a richer gravy, you can add a splash of beef broth along with the water and cornstarch mixture.
