Cooking Tips & More

This is really good served over mashed potatoes or noodles.

Also I have never used gravy base and am not sure what it is but when I make this I add a little mixture of flour and milk to make the liquid a little thicker like gravy.   I also add some strips of Green and Red Peppers sometimes because I think Pepper Steak should have peppers and wonder if Grandma may just have forgotten to put that in when she wrote down her recipe.
