I got this recipe from online but I would season the meat with some Garlic powder a few hours before as without doing this the meat doesn't have too much flavor but once you do this it's amazing!!! Ingredients:
1 1/2 inches thick beef steaks, any kind (16-24 oz.) |
2 -3 bell peppers, any color |
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced |
1/2 hot pepper (depending upon heat desired) |
2 -3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 tablespoon butter |
4 -5 garlic cloves |
1/2 lb mixed mushrooms, thinly sliced |
1 tablespoon wondra flour (or other flour) |
3 tablespoons red wine |
1 bouillon cubes (optional) or 1 teaspoon beef base (optional) |
salt (optional) or soy sauce (optional) |
1 pinch red pepper flakes, to taste |
Directions:
1. Slice uncooked steak into thin slices across the grain.
2. Cooks Tip: Place steak in freezer until partially frozen but the tip of a sharp knife can still pierce it 3/8 deep. This makes it easier to slice.
3. Prepare vegetables: Core and slice peppers, peel onions and thinly slice, peel garlic. Clean mushrooms and slice.
4. In a skillet, melt butter in oil. Add onions and saute over medium high heat until edges take on light brown color. Add whole garlic cloves and sliced peppers. When garlic cloves have a slightly roasted appearance, mash the garlic into the oil using the tines of a fork. Remove sauteed vegetables to a dish using a slotted spoon when tender, and lightly browned on edges but not soft.
5. Turn heat to high and brown steak; add mushrooms after several minutes. Remove steak to vegetable dish when tender. Add wine, flour, and bouillon, scraping pan to add flavor and color to gravy. Reduce heat to very low and simmer gravy ten minutes. Add a few tablespoons of water or broth if gravy is too thick; add more flour if gravy is too thin after several minutes. Add vegetables and steak to gravy and heat through. Season to taste with salt (or soy sauce), pepper and hot pepper, to taste.
6. Serve as is, or over rice or chow mein noodles, or in sub sandwiches topped with caramelized onions. Season with soy sauce, if desired.
7. Variation: Prepare using pork loin instead of beef steak; substitute Nappa cabbage for peppers. Add finely minced fresh ginger, if desired.
