This is derived from a Rachel Ray recipe, and has that classic pepper steak taste. Be sure to use a good cut of meat, and don't leave out the sherry...it definitely makes the recipe. I don't usually cook with wine, so I was a skeptic, but it really does add just the right flavor to the recipe.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 lbs sirloin, sliced thin
2 tablespoons butter
1 garlic clove, minced
2 green bell peppers, thinly sliced
1/2 onion, sliced
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 1/2 cups beef consomme (i use campbell's)
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
1. Slice the meat while still partially frozen to make it things much easier.
2. Preheat a large skillet over high heat.
3. Add oil to really hot pan.
4. Add meat and sear on all sides, 5 minutes.
5. Season lightly with salt and remove to a plate.

9. Add peppers, garlic, onion and mushrooms to pan.
