Beef Pepper Steak

Beef Pepper Steak is a family favorite! During gardening season I am always looking for ways to use my green peppers so I decided to make beef pepper steak and it is now a requested favorite that we all love.  This recipe is gluten free – just be sure to use a gluten free soy sauce.  I like to serve it with brown rice.  It is an easy dinner ready in less than 30 minutes.
