This is a place for me to put my recipes that I grew up with or have newly discovered.
I have a cute little family that I cook for pretty much every day and
I want to start collecting all my recipes in one place, so here it is!

Pepper Steak

**Warning**
This recipe is estimates.  It is very flexible and written out based on memory from making it.  

1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1-2 lbs steak (could use London broil as well)
1-2 Tbls butter or oil (unless there is plenty of fat on your meat)
1 sliced or chopped onion
2-4 green peppers, cleaned out and cut into large pieces
3-5 beef bullion cubes

Mix together flour, salt, & pepper.  Sprinkle onto meat and pound into meat, getting it all around the meat.  In a large skillet or fry pan (with a lid), heat oil and brown steak.  Add onion and saute for a few minutes.  Cover with water and add bullion cubes.  Bring to biol and simmer for 30 minutes to an hour.  Add large chunks of green pepper.  Let continue to simmer until green peppers are cooked through and soft (another 30 minutes-1 hour).  Pull meat out and blend with immersion blender or take liquid out of pan along with pepper chunks and blend.  Then return with meat.  Add any remaining flour mixture to thicken.  Add more flour if needed (I would add this when I blended to prevent any flour chunks).  Salt & Pepper to taste.

Serve over cooked rice.

And the following is my favorite, favorite, favorite way to cook rice!!  I LOVE it!  And I LOVE the brown rice I get from our Costco.  It is delicious!

  1. This recipe is delicious with ANY cut of (brown) meat! If I'm using a low-end roast, I will cut it into large steaks. Works well with venison and elk as well.
