Pepper steak
Pepper steak is a dish that typically consists of beefsteak that is cooked with peppers and other ingredients. The dish is said to have originated in France, although the exact origins are unclear. It is thought that the dish was created as a way to use up leftover beef, as well as to add some flavor to the otherwise bland meat.
Pepper steak became popular in the United States in the early twentieth century. The dish was often served in restaurants and was a favorite of many celebrities, including Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe. Pepper steak recipes vary greatly, but they typically include some combination of beef, peppers, onions, and tomato sauce.
Today, pepper steak is still a popular dish, although it is not as widely served in restaurants as it once was. It remains a favorite of many home cooks, who often have their own special recipes for the dish. Whether you like your pepper steak with just a few simple ingredients or loaded with all the bells and whistles, there is sure to be a recipe out there that you will love.
Advice
When making pepper steak, it is important to use the freshest ingredients possible. Start by cutting the steak into thin strips, then season it with salt, pepper and any other desired seasonings. Next, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add a generous amount of oil and butter. Once the oil and butter are hot, add the steak and cook until the steak is lightly browned. Finally, add in the peppers and any other desired vegetables and cook until they are cooked through and the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Serve the pepper steak with cooked rice or your favorite side dish for a delicious meal!
