The Studio

I don’t cook a lot.  Sadly, we do a lot of fast food.  😦 

But from time to time I get in the mood to cook and when I do it has to be something that is easy and delicious, usually a recipe that my mom gave me.  One of my favorites was Pepper Steak Supreme.  I made it last weekend and took a few photos along the way.  The pepper photo here will undoubtedly become a reference photo for a painting. 

Here’s how you make it.  (The full recipe is below.)

Cut the bell peppers and onions into squares about 1″.

Ingredients for Pepper Steak Supreme

2 lbs. round steak, cut into 1″ strips

1/3 cup cooking oil

1 teaspoon salt and a dash of pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 large bell peppers ( I use different color peppers)

1 medium onion

1 can bean sprouts

4 medium tomatoes (quartered) or you can use a can of stewed tomatoes

1 Tablespoon cornstarch  

 3/4 cup of water

Brown the steak strips in the cooking oil.  Add all remaining ingredients except cornstarch.  Simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until steak is tender.  Mix the cornstarch in a tablespoon of water  and add to thicken.

Serve over rice.  Delicious and healthy.  Really!
