Mama Karen's Pepper Steak & Rice Recipe

I LOVE my mom's Pepper Steak!  I made just a few minor tweaks to make it fit my nutrition plan for 22 Minute Hard Corps.  Here it is!

Ingredients:
1 lb steak of your choice.  We had fillets in our freezer that we used.  My mom uses sirloin.
Olive Oil (a couple teaspoons is all I used)
2 Cloves Garlic, crushed
1 and 1/2 cups Beef Broth
1 cup sliced onion
2 green peppers cut in strips
5 mini bell peppers sliced
2 tbsp corn starch
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
(optional) 2 large fresh tomatoes, cut in 1/8  (I forgot to add these to mine!)
1 1/2 cups dry brown rice

Cut steak into strips of your choice.  Sprinkle with garlic salt (just a little) and pepper.  Brown meat with a little olive oil.  Add garlic and broth.  Cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes.  Stir in onions and peppers.  Cover and cook about 5 minutes or until veggies are tender.  Blend corn starch, water, and soy sauce in a separate mixing cup.  Stir into meat mixture.  Stirring until thickened.  Add tomatoes and stir gently.  Serve over rice.  Not sure how many servings this made, but my husband and I ate and had enough leftovers for lunch! Enjoy!
