This recipe left me confused, I guess because it almost tasted like beef stew to me, I wish I would have started tenderizing the beef in the instant pot before I added the veggies and sauce mix.  The gravy mix at the end has great flavor, I have to revisit this recipe with the instant pot and maybe a different cut of beef.

Simple ingredients. Taste and consistency  same as I remember of my dad’s.

Turned out great, an easy favorite around our house...  Please keep comments on topic and be civil  to others, its a recipe for pepper steak, not psychology 101 or a police interrogation!

First time I’ve ever tried to make pepper steak. My mom always made it and after she died, I missed it. She was a Taste of Home recipe girl, so I looked it up and WOW, it was easy and delicious. My husband, who loved hers, even said he couldn’t tell the difference. (high praise) I did add a little ginger to the recipe. I’ll definitely be making this once a month!

This is the exact same recipe, word for word, that I've had for 42 years. It came from Uncle Ben's rice recipes. It's very, very good and my family loves it.

I'm just trying to learn how to cook at 64 years of age. I've always cooked really easy things in the past with not much taste. I had no idea how to season food. Then I got the novel idea to use a recipe! This one said it was easy so it was right up my alley. I followed the recipe almost exactly....I used less onion for the first try and I cooked my vegetables a little longer because I like them a bit soft. With the first taste I was like, hmmm, does not taste like my mom's pepper steak. Then I was like, I feel that the taste of the beef broth is overpowering. I had a second plate and afterwards I was spooning the sauce from the pan directly into my mouth. OK, I licked the plate clean, too. I think I liked it.

Good weeknight meal. Venison also worked well for my family. I added a touch of ginger and i used the Better than Bouillon for beef broth.

This is a keeper.  Wish people wdnt change the recipe then say they didn't like it lol. Dont use tenderloin for this recipe ... use top round as the recipe stated. Ive been making some variation of this for over 50 years, and ive never had ANYONE including small children not clean their plates. Its not rocket science, it's Pepper Steak!

I did make a couple of changes. First I doubled the recipe because I was feeding the kids and grandkids too! I used coconut aminos instead of soy sauce because we don't do soy (and coconut aminos tastes better anyway!), and I used green and yellow peppers because that's what I had! I really expected the grandkids (ages 1 and a half to 9) to not want it and that I would have leftovers, but nope! They all loved it and there were NO leftovers!!! Definitely will be making this again!!!

I was very pleased with how this turned out! I did season my beef a little more by adding a little salt, pepper, and steak seasoning. I will not use frozen already sliced peppers again (my choice, not the recipes) as I felt they became a little too soft.

My husband loves pepper steak.  He usually makes it.  I followed this recipe pretty closely.  OmG, he loved it.  There was nothing left!

Wonderful! I used red, yellow, and orange bell peppers because that is what I had on hand. I used a little crushed tomatoes instead of fresh, since we did not have fresh. I thought it was delightful. Meat was fork-tender and delicious, and the sauce was lovely.

So here is my tweak. Step 2 eliminated, I added brown gravy as I don't like soy sauce , etc. Turned out great.  The butter adds flavor, nice touch. Also I poured off excess juice when it finished browning,as I added the beef broth.

A favorite in our house, will be making this many more times. Top sirloin was on sale so I used that instead of round steak. Other than that , I made it as written. The gravy thickened up nice.

This was the best pepper steak I have ever made. No left overs!!!
