Ingredients

Mushroom Rice Pilaf:

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it
1 tablespoon butter
10 white mushrooms, chopped
1 3/4 cups water
1 package rice pilaf mix (recommended: Near East brand), 6.09 ounces
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves

Pepper Steak:

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 turns of the pan
2 pounds tenderloin tips or sirloin, cut into chunks
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 green bell peppers, seeded, 2 inch dice
1/2 white onion, sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 cup dry sherry – eyeball it
1 1/2 cups beef consomme
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper

Directions

In a medium pot over medium to medium high heat add a tablespoon of oil and a tablespoon of butter. When butter melts, add chopped mushrooms and saute 3 to 5 minutes. Add water and cover the pot. Add rice and pilaf packet to water. Stir to combine, reduce heat and cook 18 minutes. Add parsley, fluff with fork.

Preheat a large skillet over high heat. Add vegetable oil to really hot pan. Add meat and sear on all sides, 5 minutes. Season with salt and remove to a plate. Cover meat loosely with foil to hold heat. Reduce heat on pan to medium. Add butter to pan. Add peppers and a little onion. Saute peppers and onions 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and cook 1 minute longer. Whisk in sherry and start to pick up pan drippings. Whisk in consomme and continue whisking. Add tomato and black pepper. Slide meat back into the pan and coat with sauce. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes.

Spoon Pepper Steak over Mushroom Rice Pilaf and serve.

WOW - The family REQUESTS this recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw this recipe on air and decided to try it. My family loved it - the kids scarfed it right up even though it had onions... and bell peppers in it. My sister-in-law and my mother-in-law wanted me to make it after they heard my husband RAVING to them about how wonderful it was. They soon fell in love with it and so did my neice and nephew (my nephew is an incredibly picky eater). My parents and brother also heard about it and they wanted to try it and of course, fell in love with it. It is often requested when they come to visit. So, paired with the rice pilaf this is definately a crowd pleaser in my family. PS I double the recipe and NEVER have any for leftovers!Read more

ok not great
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

"I'm new to the cooking world but have many opinions on how things should taste, so although the recipe was relatively easy... to make it missed something in the taste department and the sauce was a bit thin....As i progress in the cooking field I'll figure out whats missing...."Read more

I can't quite decide...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I thought this was o.k. I think it needed something more, though. Being the non-chef that I am, I haven't quite figured out... what it is that is lacking. I'm not so sure I really liked the tomato paste...maybe substitute soy sauce instead of the paste. However, it was very easy, especially if you've prepared everything beforehand. I thought it did go well with the rice pilaf and the steak was tender. I'm having it for leftovers today for lunch, so we'll see how it is the next day! If it's better, maybe I'll prepare it the night before and let it sit and eat it the following night!!Read more
