  1. Wonderful recipe,Manda!!The whole family raved about this one!!!I didnt add the celery or worchestershire sauce,still turned out an A+++.Sauce was nice and thick,perfect over the rice.Meat was tender and fell apart as we served ourselves,cant wait to make this again.I put this on then walked away,45 min later I had a great dish to feed my family!!Thanks again,Manda!!
     
  2. I'm not sure why this was such a raving hit with everyone else. I followed the recipe (minus celery) exactly. To me it was a good solid recipe, but it's missing that IT factor that sets it apart.
     
  3. Boy, o boy!This was terrific! I don't know what inspired me to make pepper steak today but I know my corner pork store has pepper steak cuts all read to go, so I picked some up and used this recipe! I LOVED the flavor this recipe creates. The only thing I omitted was the celery and I browned the veggies in a bit of oil and soy sauce before adding to the meat. I will be making this again and again. Thanks for sharing!!
     
  4. This is wonderful!!! It was a hit in my house. Infact I have to make it again this weekend!! I made it with some Beef fried rice made from a seasoning packet from the store. They raved about this for days! I will make it with fresh cut tomatoes and bigger cut onions and fresh garlic.. I recommend this to anyone Even if you never have cooked chinese before. cause I never have and did good!
     
  5. I honestly can't come up with much to correlate this to Chinese except maybe the soy sauce and the slightly crunchy veggies, but we LOVED it! Everybody was looking for seconds and that is unusual for my fussy bunch. I might add some water chestnuts next time-I think that would be good. Also, I substituted a red pepper rather than green. Otherwise no changes and it was very tasty.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a single gal, living on my own; currently working as an Occupational Therapist & living in Cumberland, MD. (It is "God's Country" out here...beautiful!) I LOVE to cook and bake, and love anything that looks, tastes, smells, or even closely resembles a veggie. I LOVE moo-cows, and therefore, cannot bring myself to eat any part of the adorable critters (i.e. NO RED MEAT!!) I love the outdoors, and pride myself on being the master griller on the fire pit. My mother's side of the family is 100% Polish, so I have an inborn passion for cooking...unfortunately, along with that comes a love of eating, too!! But, hey..u only live once, so I say "EAT, DRINK, and BE MERRY!!!"
