Sliced Beef With Bell Pepper, Onion, and Snow Peas (Phases 2 and 3)


Serves 4


Description
The combination of bell pepper, onion, and peas brings a delicious sweetness to this Chinese-style dish. A red or yellow bell pepper can be used in place of the green.

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes


Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds top round steak (about 3/4 inch thick), well trimmed
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
6 ounces snow peas, strings removed, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce


Instructions


Season steak with salt and black pepper. Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare; remove from heat. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing.


Meanwhile, in the same pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, onion, and garlic; cook, stirring constantly, 5 minutes. Add peas and water. Cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Uncover, add soy sauces, and cook 30 seconds longer. Add sliced steak to pan and toss briefly, just to heat through. Serve warm.

Could it be the snow peas that make it P2 & 3?
