Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, marinate the round steak in soy sauce for an hour before cooking. If you don't have round steak, flank or sirloin can be good substitutes. You can also add other vegetables like mushrooms or carrots for extra nutrition. Using Noe'S Sugar-Free Teriyaki Sauce can give it a different twist while keeping it flavorful.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pepper steak over fluffy white or brown rice to soak up the savory sauce. For a complete meal, consider pairing it with steamed broccoli or a side salad like Raymond Stoiber'S Ramen Noodle Salad. This dish also works well with a side of crusty bread for dipping.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm gently on the stove over low heat or in the microwave until heated through. If the sauce thickens, add a splash of water to loosen it up.
