Ingredients

• 4 beef tenderloin steaks, about 1 inch thick and trimmed of fat (4 ounces
each)
• 3 tablespoons low-carb ketchup
• 3 tablespoons water
• 3/4 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 medium green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• coarsely ground black pepper, to taste

Method

1. Place beef between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap, pound
with a rolling pin or the flat side of a tenderizer to tenderize.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, water, and soy sauce and
beat with a whisk until thoroughly blended.
3. Coat a 10-inch skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high
heat. Cook beef in the skillet for 3 minutes, turning once. Add the bell
peppers and onion and sauté. Add the ketchup mixture and reduce heat to
low. Cover, let simmer for 12 minutes, or until the meat is desired doneness.
4. Remove meat from pan and set aside. Bring the heat back up and add the
ground pepper into the sauce left in the skillet, stir, then bring to a boil. Boil
for 2 minutes, stirring frequently until sauce is slightly thickened. Spoon
sauce over beef and serve.
