Chinese Pepper Steak

For those not familiar with Chinese Pepper Steak, let me give you a quick run down. Chinese Pepper Steak is basically a stir fried Chinese-American dish which consists of sliced steak, green bell peppers, and onions. The best part about this dish is the delicious tasting sauce, a mixture of soy sauce, beef broth, water, corn starch and in my recipe, margarine. I have been cooking this for awhile now and everyone just loves it. Don’t be hesitant, try it for yourself.
