Italian Pepper Beef over Rice

This is a very easy meal to put together. Feel free to add more vegetables to this dish. I usually do. Enjoy!

Serves 4
1 pound beef chuck steak or roast
1 can petite diced tomatoes
1/2 cup diced onion
1 cup diced bell peppers (I used red, orange and yellow)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dry basil
1 teaspoon dry oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Salt and pepper, to taste
3/4 cup beef broth
4 servings white or brown rice, cooked

Preheat oven to 295. Place meat in a roasting pan. Add vegetables and spices. Poor broth overtop. Cover and cook for 3 hours. Remove meat from sauce and increase temperature to 350. Shred with a fork, removing fat. Place back in sauce and cook, uncovered, for an additional 30 minutes. Serve over rice.
