Chinese Pepper Steak
A quick-cookery Oriental version of round steak, very simple to prepare at the last moment.
1 1/4 pound of round steak, in one piece
2 T olive oil
2 T minced onion
1 clove minced garlic
2 large sliced green peppers
1/2 cup sliced celery
1 tsp soy sauce
3 tsp cornstarch mixed in 2 T water
1 cup consomme
Slice the round steak in thin diagonal slivers—as though cutting a London Broil. Sear in hot olive oil. Add onion, garlic, seeded sliced peppers and celery, plus ½ cup of consomme. Cover the pan, reduce heat and cook 5 minutes. Add cornstarch and water mixture, stirring vigorously—and more consomme if needed to make a smooth sauce. Add the soy sauce, and simmer 5 minutes more. Serve at once with boiled rice.
