Preparation

Step 1

In a 6-quart soup pot, heat the oil over high heat. Add the steak, bell pepper, and onion and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the beef is browned. Stir in the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the rice is cooked.
