To get started with this recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have shortcut pepper steak using 9 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Shortcut Pepper Steak:

Steps to make Shortcut Pepper Steak:
-
- Note that it takes about 15-20 minutes to cook this dish, once all of the veggies and beef has been prepped. So try to time your rice so that it's ready to eat at the same time.
- Prepare rice according to directions.
- In skillet/wok, over medium-high heat, stir fry peppers, onion, and garlic in 1 Tbsp of hot vegetable oil until tender/crisp. Remove and set aside.
- In same skillet, stir fry HALF of beef strips in remaining 1 Tbsp hot vegatable oil until browned. Remove and set aside. Repeat with remaining beef.
- In same skillet, combine soup, soy sauce, and ginger. Mix well. You can opt to adjust the soy sauce and ginger to suit your taste. Or you can substitute a Tbsp of oyster sauce and 1 teaspoon fresh, grated ginger.
- Return veggies and beef to skillet and heat through, stirring occasionally.
- Serve over bed of hot, cooked rice.
-
- I've also made this using frozen peppers and/or onions. Although you can't beat fresh veggies, it really doesn't affect the flavor much.

Information on How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
Mostly, people have been taught to think that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and need to be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is a high sugar food or another junk food, this is very true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be very healthy and good for you. A number of foods really do elevate your mood when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and need a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are wonderful for helping you fight depression. Just see to it that you don’t throw away the yolk. The yolk is the most important part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping you cheer up. Eggs, the yolks particularly, are high in B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be great for lifting up your mood. This is because these vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Consume an egg and cheer up!
Put together some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all great for helping to elevate your mood. This is possible since these foods are rich in magnesium which increases your production of serotonin. Serotonin is known as the “feel good” chemical and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more of it in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, particularly, are a fantastic protein food source.
Cold water fish are good if you wish to feel better. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all rich in omega-3 fats and DHA. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly raise your mood.
Some grains are truly wonderful for driving away bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all actually excellent for helping raise your happiness levels. They help you feel full too which can actually help to make your mood better. It’s not hard to feel low when you feel hungry! These grains can help your mood elevate as it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your glucose levels which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is excellent for moods. You knew it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is found to be packed full of an amino acid called L-theanine. Research has proved that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while simultaneously relaxing the rest of your body. You knew that green tea helps you feel better. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood too!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Try some of these instead!
