Beijing Beef with Peppers

The second recipe from this cookbook and it was a BIG hit. G screamed because the meat was so good.

I didn’t read the directions carefully before I started and did it in my 8 qt instant pot. It was fine. I was supposed to increase all the ingredients by 50% but I didn’t have that much meat. I did double the liquid though and used 3 bell peppers.

Other modifications:

used red, yellow, and orange bell peppers.

decreased the amount of red pepper flakes.

Used a little less brown sugar.

I used sirloin because that’s all the store had.

Served it with brown rice.

I, also, didn’t feel like I had enough liquid so I added about 1/4 cup of water. I shouldn’t have done that. It was really liquidy after it was all done. Still delicious but lots of liquid. Good thing I had rice to soak it all up so it didn’t go to waste.

Another thought. I looked on line to see if I could find something similar and they all have WAY more ingredients. I am sure they are also good but I liked how easy this was and I didn’t have to buy any extras I didn’t already have.

We will most definitely make this again.

Enjoy!
