Pepper Steak For A Crowd

Okay, maybe a small crowd.

Like 3 or 4.

Or 2 if you're really hungry.

Finding something humorous to say about pepper

steak is much harder than you might imagine.

So I guess I'll just skip the funny business for now.

Pepper steak is SO easy to make and yummy to eat.

I had about 3 1/2 bell peppers.

One of them was half funky on the inside.

I don't use green...supposedly {whether it's true or

not I don't really know for sure} the green ones I'm

told are not ripe and that's what causes an unhappy tummy.

Pull out the middles and make long slices...maybe 1/2 an inch thick.

Do the same with at least one LARGE onion.

I didn't take pictures of the onion...

I'm going to say because I didn't want to make you cry.

Not because I forgot.

I started sauteing my veggies while I sliced the meat.

Peppers and onions need more time to

soften than it takes beef to cook.

Heat oil {olive or toasted sesame} in a big honkin' skillet.

You could even use BUTTAH if you so desire.

Just stir around those virtuous slices to get 'em cookin'.

Then, we'll pretend I cut up all this skirt steak into strips also.

But I really didn't.

I bought it already sliced.

I was being lazy.

It was close to 2 lbs.

Add it to the peppers and onions.

Sprinkle in some salt to taste.

This is a LOT of stuff...so probably at least a teaspoon.

I switch between sea salt and regular just because of the iodide.

Sea salt has less sodium, but I haven't found course

salt for my grinder that contains that necessary nutrient. :(

Here you can see that the steak is just starting to cook

but the veggies have already started to get soft.

You could cook the peppers and onions even more

if you want the beef to cook less.

Don't put a lid on it.

This will help keep your steak from getting tough.

Stir until the meat is no longer pink.

At this point you can taste and see if it needs more seasoning.

If not,

remove from the stove and serve over rice.

Feel free to add soy sauce.

We are trying to cut carbs here at our house...

so we ate it just like this...no rice at all.

It was really good...and even better warmed up the

next day after all the flavors had a chance to mingle. :)

To Recap:

2 lbs skirt steak or other thin beef, sliced rather thinly

3-4 bell peppers, cleaned and sliced

1 very large or 2 medium onions {I like sweet}

cooking oil

salt

rice

soy sauce or terriyaki optional

Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat.

Slice peppers and onions and dump into hot oil.

Stir until beginning to soften and caramelize.

While those are cooking, slice beef {or buy already sliced :)}

Add to the veggies and salt to taste.

Cook until meat is done.

Spoon over cooked rice.

Enjoy with your crowd be it small or large.

With rice, I'd say this should serve 6 or so moderately hungry people.

I hope you are all enjoying your long holiday weekend.

Did you do anything fun?

We had a weenie roast and a bonfire with some friends.

Simple and fun.

I hope you have a fabulous week ahead!
