Ginger Pepper Steak

I'm still trying out recipes from Pinterest.  This one is Ginger Pepper Steak.  It is easy to prepare and cook.  It sounded good and looked good so I decided to try it.  This was whipped together in less than 30 minutes.  I made this recipe last night for dinner.  Here is the recipe as follows.

Mix together the gravy mix packet, 3/4 cup water, 1 TBSP shoyu, and1/2 tsp ginger in a small bowl until well blended.

Heat 1 TBSP oil in a large skillet on Medium-High heat.  Add steak and cook and stir for 2 minutes or until no longer pink.

Stir in gravy mixture, onion, and bell pepper.

Beef and gravy with bell peppers added.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to low and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes or until sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally.

Serve over hot rice.

Ingredients:
1 package McCormick Brown Gravy Mix or 1 package McCormick 30% Less Sodium Brown Gravy mix
3/4 cup cold water
1 Tablespoon Soy sauce
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound boneless beef sirloin steak, cut into thin strips
1 small onion, cut into thin wedges
1 medium green or red bell pepper (or 1/2 of each), cut into thin strips
Cooked rice




Like I said it is a fairly easy recipe.  A few tips to the recipe.  Instead of using the ground ginger, use 1/4 tsp of ground red pepper.  Also use 1 bag (16 ounces) frozen pepper stir-fry blend in place of the onion and bell pepper.



Overall I was a little disappointed at this recipe.  My wife suggested using fresh ginger or maybe replace the ginger for red pepper.  I will have to try this again and add a little of my own touch.

I will have to give this first try 3 STARS.
