Sweet & Sour Three Pepper Steak Recipe Ingredients
1 cup of beef strips, visible fat removed, 1 teaspoon of cooking oil
2 cups of assorted bell pepper that are of different colors
1/2 cup of onion slices
2 Tablespoons of Chili Sauce, 2 Tablespoons of Grape Jelly, salt, pepper
How to Prepare Our Sweet & Sour Three Pepper Steak Recipe
Place the oil into a skillet and when it's warm add the beef and stir to coat. The onion and bell pepper will cook quite quickly and the thinner the strips, the less cooking time they will need to become tender. Therefore, when the meat is almost done, add these vegetables and continue to cook until the meat is fully done and the vegetables are tender. Stir in the chili sauce and grape jelly to fully combine with all the accompanying ingredients.

1 teaspoon of peanut, canola or extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup of chopped onions, 1/2 cup of a mix of celery and bell pepper
2 cups of broccoli florets
1 cup of sliced button mushrooms
salt, cracked black pepper, 1 Tablespoon of soy sauce, Asian Sauce (your favorite low calorie variety)
How to Prepare Our Beef Stir Fry Recipe
Place the oil into a deep pot and add the beef. Stir so that the meat becomes coated with the oil.
Now we're ready to add the tri-mix seasonings: onions, celery and bell pepper; be sure that you have chopped the veggies into bite-sized pieces and that the strings have been removed from the celery. Any variety of bell pepper or onion can be used for this recipe to add color or to create unique flavors. Onions in particular differ in flavor from harvested crop to the level of heat; some even hold a sweet tone.
It's time to add the remaining vegetables when the juices of the meat run clear. Salt and pepper as desired. Add the soy sauce and when the vegetables are tender, add the Asian sauce just before removing from the heat.
