We haven't posted to this old thread in a LONG time. LOL.
I was getting pretty hungry today and decided to cook myself up some dinner. Hubby is over at D2's so it was just me, but I got to cooking and ended up with a masterpiece.
At least that is what MY tummy said.
I had a few bell peppers that my friend Judy had brought from her garden that were needing to get cooked, so I decided on a Green Pepper Beef stir fry.
I started with about half of a beef round steak. I partially thawed it and cut the whole thing into stir fry strips, then packed up about half of the strips and stuck them back in the freezer. They will make a nice fajita sometime soon. The rest of the strips went into a bowl with a pinch of baking soda and a dab of water to tenderize the meat. It marinated and continued to thaw, while I cut up the bell peppers, a yellow squash, an onion, celery tops, two tomatoes and some garlic. I opened and drained a can each of mushrooms and water chestnuts.
Then it was time to start cooking. Into the pan went some olive oil and the beef. I browned it a bit then dumped the rest of the veggies in, black pepper, ginger, tumeric and started sauteing. Once everything was cooking along I popped on the lid to let it steam and made the gravy mixins. GF beef bouillon packets, cornstarch, soy sauce and the liquid off of the mushrooms in addition to a little cold water. Stirred. Off came the lid and in went the sauce until it thickened. Then I served myself over a bed of fluffy rice.
It was amazing folks. I took a picture to prove it.
