PEPPER STEAK FOR 2

Pepper Steak for 2 image

I CAME ACROSS this recipe more than 40 years ago as a newlywed. It eventually became a standby in our family and our daughters' favorite recipe. I still make this main dish for my husband and me in pared-down quantity. Our daughters make it for their families nowadays, and it's a favorite in their households too. -Mrs. Henry Sepanksi Atlanta, New York
