Pepper Steak with Brandy Sauce image

I found this recipe in the Oct '02 issue of Good Housekeeping. It is very easy to make and looks and tastes like a gourmet meal. Goes well with twice baked potatoes and red wine. My husband loves this--we use it for special occasions.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
