How to Make Tricolor Pepper Steak

  1. Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of beef steak, cut into 1-inch cubes, and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add 1 medium red bell pepper (1 cup chopped), 1 medium yellow bell pepper (1 cup chopped), and 1 medium green bell pepper (1 cup chopped) to the skillet. Add 1 medium onion (1 cup chopped). Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
  4. Add 2 cloves garlic (minced) and continue cooking until peppers are softened and onions are translucent, about 5 minutes more.
  5. Return the beef to the skillet. Add 1/2 cup beef broth, 1/4 cup dry red wine, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
  8. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the skillet. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
  9. Serve immediately over cooked rice.
