Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut up the London Broil, tomatoes, green peppers, and scallions into bite-sized pieces.
- Stir-fry the beef in a hot skillet until browned.
- Add the green peppers and cook until slightly tender.
- Mix in the tomatoes and scallions, cooking briefly to combine flavors.
- Serve hot with rice or your preferred side.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more tender beef, consider marinating the London Broil in a mixture of soy sauce and garlic for a few hours before cooking. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, substitute bell peppers for green peppers. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce for added depth. If you're looking for a lighter option, try using leaner cuts of beef or even chicken.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the beef with tomatoes and green peppers hot over steamed rice or alongside a fresh Calico Vegetable Salad for a balanced meal. It pairs wonderfully with a simple salad or crusty bread to soak up the juices. For a heartier option, consider serving it with a side of mashed potatoes.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water to prevent drying out. You can also microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between, until heated through.
