This plate only vaguely resembles the original recipe in Going Solo in the Kitchen. But it sure was tasty.
The original recipe is called Beef with Peppers, and called for 3/4 cup sliced onion, 1 cup red peppers, 1/2 cup green peppers, stock ,and soy sauce. Well, I hate green peppers, and had other ideas.
2 t vegetable (or canola or peanut) oil
4oz steak (I had sirloin on hand), sliced thinly on the bias (diagonally)
3/4 cup sliced onion
3/4 cup diced red bells (that's all I had, pre-chopped)
1 carrot, sliced thinly
handful of sliced mushrooms
pinch of cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup stock (beef or chicken--I had chicken on hand)
1 T soy sauce
squirt of sriracha
Heat oil in a pan until nice and hot. Add steak strips and cook for about 30 seconds. The steak is so thin, it should cook very quickly. Remove steak using a slotted spoon to another dish. (I just used the bowl I would eventually eat in.) Add in onions, bell pepper, carrots, mushrooms and cook until a bit tender. I added a pinch of salt. Add stock and soy sauce and cook until vegetables are done to your preference. Add in sriracha, mix. Add beef, and then finally add in the chopped cilantro.
With most of the vegetables pre-sliced, this done in less than 10 minutes. Serve over rice. Enjoy.
As someone who's always been a raging carnivore, it's interesting to see that I don't need a lot of meat to be thoroughly satisfied.
