Spray a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid with water/oil mixture over medium-high heat; add beef and cook for 3 minutes, turning once. Add bell pepper and onion. Stir in ketchup mixture. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 12 minutes or just until steak is tender. Remove steak from skillet and keep warm.
