Beef Pepper Steak

This was fairly quick and easy, especially because I chopped up the peppers and onion the night before.

Pepper Steak (from Good Thymes and Good Food)
Prep Time:20 min
Total Time:35 min
Makes: 4 servings

1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
1 small onion, cut into strips (I used 1 medium)
1 lb. well-trimmed boneless beef sirloin steak, cut into strips
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. black pepper
3 Tbsp. lite soy sauce
1/2 cup KRAFT Original Barbecue Sauce (Omitted)
2 cups hot cooked brown rice (I used white rice because I didn't have whole wheat on hand.)
2 tbsp. olive oil
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1/2 tbsp. butter
1/2 tbsp. flour
1/2 c. (or so) beef stock

1. HEAT large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat. (I used about a tbsp. of olive oil.)
2. Add bell peppers and onions; cook and stir 6 to 8 min. or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
3. Transfer to large bowl; keep warm.
4. ADD meat, garlic and black pepper to same skillet (I added another tbsp. olive oil); cook and stir 3 min.
5. Add soy sauce; cook 1 min. or until meat is cooked through. Add barbecue sauce (omitted); cook until heated through.
6. SPOON meat mixture into bowl with vegetables; toss gently. Serve over rice.

I made a little sauce with what was left in the pan, as recommended by Good Thymes & Good Food. There was too much delicious, salty soy sauce and garlic to let it go to waste. I didn't want to just pour it over the meat and peppers. Here is what I did:
1. Add 1/2 tbsp. butter and let melt.
2. Add flour and cook for 1 minute. Stir to combine.
3. Add beef stock and bring to a slow boil til thickened.
4. Pepper to taste.
5. Serve over meat, rice and peppers. Delish! :)
