Receta Pepper Steak
I started looking for a recipe for Pepper Steak last week - because I had steak, and I had peppers, and it sounded good. Would you believe how many recipes there are for Pepper Steak? And I only looked at Cooks.com because I grabbed a couple recipes from there a while back. I looked at the recipes I wanted to try before, but neither one of them sounded right - and I neglected to make any notes about which one I tried and how we liked it. So I just started looking again, found one and adapted it.
Pepper Steak
- 1 tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/4 c. salad oil
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 lb. steak, cut into strips
- 1 green pepper, cut into 1" cubes
- 1 lg. onion, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 c. diced celery
- 1 tsp. cornstarch
- 1/4 c. water
- 1 can diced tomatoes
cooked noodles (about 5 handfuls)
Mix soy sauce, garlic, salt, pepper,oregano and salad oil together and pour on steak strips. Let set for 1 hour. Pour into frying pan. Allow meat to brown thoroughly on all sides. Add peppers, onions and celery. Cover and cook 5 to 10 minutes over medium low heat or until vegetables are tender. Stir in cornstarch dissolved in water. Stir until thickened. Add tomatoes; cover and cook 5 to 10 minutes or until meat is tender. Add cooked, drained noodles and mix well. Cover and cook for a couple more minutes to heat through and blend flavors.
The original recipe said round steak. I'm not sure what kind of steak I used - just whatever was in the freezer. It turned out really good.
