Green Peppers with Beef

This was a great quick and easy dinner. Simple but tasty! I'm not a fan of green peppers usually but the tartness of the green peppers brought out the sweetness in the marinated beef and the crispness of the peppers contrasted well with the tenderness of the beef.


Stir frying in the pan
