Key Ingredients
Steak Tips
Steak tips are the star of our show. These tender pieces of beef come from the bottom round, making them incredibly juicy and full of flavor. In our Stir-Fry with Cowboy Style, we’ll cut these into bite-sized pieces so they cook evenly and quickly.
Bell Peppers
The bell peppers add a sweet crunch to this dish. Any color will do, but I have a soft spot for the fiery red ones, which bring an extra kick of color and heat to the mix. Slice them thinly to ensure they soften just right during cooking.
Onion
A finely sliced onion provides a subtle sweetness that complements the savory steak tips beautifully. Its mild flavor allows other ingredients to shine through while still adding depth to our stir-fry.
