Pepper Steak is my recipe of the day with the blogging group From Our Dinner Table. We post weekly on changing  topics. This week  the focus is on  super simple weeknight recipes.

I always love  making stir-fry for quick meals. If I am going to come in from  work and whip  something up, it’s  perfect.

I will marinate the beef ahead of time, cut my veggies  and keep those in the fridge,  and even steam  the rice ahead.  It reheats perfectly in the microwave.

As for cooking  tips,  I like  to slice my meat  when it  is partially frozen, since it is so much easier to  slice it very thin.

Another easy tip is to slice the meat  and  then freeze it in the marinade.  This way the  meat  will absorb  the  flavors as it defrosts  in the fridge.

You can easily change up  the veggies in this to  your  liking. But  the traditional retro  way is for bell peppers and  some sliced tomatoes. Speaking  of which- my garden is chock full  of those this time of year.
