Add 1\/3 of the meat mixture, evenly  distributing over the surface of the skillet. Allow to sit for 20 to 30  seconds, then turn with tongs. Cook for another 30 seconds, then remove  to a separate plate. Repeat with remaining meat until all brown.<\/p>\n<p>Reduce heat to low. Add all meat, onions, and peppers to the skillet  and toss to combine. Pour in remaining sauce (the sauce the meat  marinated in*) and stir. Allow to simmer on low for a few minutes.
