Pepper Steak

Pepper steaks are quite yum yum especially with rice or chips or mashed potatoes.  We had this last week and it's worth cooking it since my hubby and I really enjoyed the peppery taste in the steak.  The capcicum added a bit of sweetness to it too which made the steak tastes even better.  You can always buy cream fraiche in any deli/grocery shops by the way. You can also choose not to use the cream too.  Ingredients 2 beef...
