This recipe for Pepper Steak is a house favorite. A pepper steak recipe is nothing new, but a time saving one does become a cook’s friend. I like this version because it is both a time saver and crowd pleaser. I’ll take a shortcut in my recipes if taste is not compromised. This recipe is a prime example- I use powder options (garlic,onion) in lieu of dicing, mincing, and slicing.
Chopped onions and garlic in a jar is an excellent option, but when the freezer/fridge is void of these grab the powders. Let me share the Places In The Home pepper steak recipe with you.
