Easy Pepper Steak

This Easy Pepper Steak is a flavorful one-pot meal featuring tender thin-sliced sirloin, colorful bell peppers, and savory Creole-seasoned broth. The beef is first seared with Creole seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, then cooked with onions, bell peppers, and garlic until tender. A rich sauce made from soy sauce, beef bouillon, and cornstarch enhances the dish with deep umami flavors. The result is a hearty, comforting meal that pairs perfectly with steamed rice. Quick to prepare and packed with bold flavors, this dish is ideal for a satisfying weeknight dinner!
