   Heat the butter or margarine and the oil in a 12-inch skillet over

 Remove the beef and keep warm.
 
   Add the onion and red pepper strips to the skillet and cook until wilted,
 about 3 minutes.  Return the beef to the skillet and add the blender mixture. 
 Heat to boiling, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered until the beef is
 hot and the sauce is slightly thickened.
 Serve over rice or stuffed into pitas, with rice on the side.
