Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 green bell peppers, cut into strips
2 red bell peppers, cut into strips
1.5 pounds round steak, cut into strips
1 onion, grated
1 cup crushed tomatoes
0.5 cup water
3.5 teaspoons white sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the green and red peppers until they're tender, about 10 minutes. Then, remove the peppers from the pan and set them aside.
Place the steak strips into the skillet along with the grated onion. Cook and stir for approximately 10 minutes, until the steak is evenly browned and no longer pink inside. Return the cooked peppers to the skillet, and stir in the tomatoes, water, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Simmer over low heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the steak becomes tender and the sauce thickens to perfection.
