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 dish was a disappointment. The steak was tough and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

The pepper steak was delicious, but the sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. Next time, I'll use less salt.
