So, where am I going with this? Well, tonight's recipe actually was prepared using leftover (rare) Eye of Round. You can only buy a roast so small.... Recognizing that not everyone has a half roast in their fridge, you can also make this dish using top sirloin. The other awesome tidbit to share is that this dish was on the table in 20 minutes (and that was due to the cooking time of the rice!)
Serves 4 (Cut in half if you abhor leftovers!)
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound top sirloin** (about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- Olive oil
- 1 large green bell pepper, sliced into 1/4-inch strips (feel free to also use red and/or yellow peppers)
- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
- Season the beef with pepper and rub minced garlic over them, both sides. Place the steaks between two sheets of plastic wrap. With a meat pounder, pound the steaks to a 1/4 inch thickness. Cut them across the grain in 1/2-inch wide strips.
2. Heat 2 Tablespoons olive oil in a large
skillet on medium high heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, and cook,
stirring, for about 2 minutes. (This is just long enough to make them tender
but not soggy). Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and cover with aluminum foil
or a lid to keep warm.
3. Heat an additional 1 Tablespoon of oil in
the skillet on medium high heat, for 1 minute. Add the strips of beef and let
them brown on one side for 1 minute, then use a spatula to stir them and brown
the other side. Cook for another minute (the meat will be medium rare, so keep
cooking if you like your beef more well done). Add back the vegetables and add
the Worcestershire sauce. Cook for another minute, stirring with a spatula. Serve with steamed rice. (I used Jasmine.) Enjoy!
Tomorrow night: What's cooking? Join me for a meal that I'll be be cooking on my Himalayan salt block. It's fun, unique, hot, and deeee-lish!
