Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 tablespoons cornstarch
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 cups warm water
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 1 cube beef bouillon cube
• 1 (29 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 ½ pounds round steak
• 2 cups hot cooked rice, or as needed
• 1 medium green bell pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Trim any fat from steak; thinly slice steak into 2- to 3-inch-long strips. Core and seed bell pepper, then thinly slice into 3-inch-long strips.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add bell peppers; cook and stir until peppers start to soften and steak is browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 3

Reduce heat and add diced tomatoes, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger, and pepper. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir cornstarch and bouillon cube into water; stir well until dissolved. Pour mixture into the skillet. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens to a gravy-like consistency, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from the heat and serve over hot cooked rice.
