"This is a dish that is very dear to my heart. This was a specialty of my Grandma's and it was a big hit with our whole family. I was fortunate enough to have her teach me how to make it. Now that she has passed, every time I make this meal it brings back all the special times we shared together."

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. sirloin steak (cut into strips)
• 1 green bell pepper (sliced)
  
• 2 cans 15 oz. stewed tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 2 chicken or beef bullion cubes
• 2 tablespoons of oil
  
• 1-3 tablespoons of corn starch
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt
• 16 oz. package of egg noodles
• 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. On Medium Heat, Sauté sirloin strips with 2 tbs. of oil in a medium size sauté pan until no longer pink in the middle. While cooking sprinkle all the meat with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt.
2. Add the sliced bell pepper & cook with the steak for 3 mins.
   
3. Add (2) cans of stewed tomatoes, soy sauce, sugar, & bullion cubes. When it comes to a boil, turn the heat down to simmer & cook for 20-25 minutes
4. Cook the egg noodles as directed on the package.
5. When the peppered steak is done simmering, add cornstarch 1 tablespoon at a time to make the sauce a little thicker. (I usually end up using 2 tbs) Make sure to stir it in well to avoid clumping.
6. Serve the peppered steak on top of egg noodles and add a sprinkle of some cheddar cheese. If everything is still hot the cheese will melt into the sauce & noodles, which makes it even better.
