How to make this easy round steak skillet meal
Then you’ll want to cut the meat against the grain (to help tenderize it) in thin strips.
Saute the beef strips, onion and garlic until the meat is browned, then you’ll add liquid and let the meat simmer, cook and tenderize for a while.
It’s going to smell so good!
A little later in the simmering, you’ll add gravy and green peppers and let it all cook together.
You could also add red peppers if you’d like.
Serve in big spoonfuls over a bed of rice and enjoy!
