Chinese Pepper Steak Recipe

I know that most of us in NY are snowed in at home today, so as a staff member of NYLC, I wanted to share a recipe from my mother country, China.

Chinese pepper-steak! It does not require many ingredients, and it's fast and easy to make. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 lb. round steak, sliced in thin diagonal pieces
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tbsp. onion, minced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 lg. green peppers, sliced
• 1/2 c. celery, sliced
• 1/2 c. beef consommé
• 3 tbsp. cornstarch
• 2 tbsp. water
• Beef consommé
• 1 tsp. soy sauce 

Directions:

1. Sear round steak in olive oil.
2. Add onion, garlic, green pepper, celery and 1/2 c beef consommé. Cover pan, reduce heat and cook 5 minutes.
3. Add cornstarch which has been mixed in 2 tbsp. water. Stir rapidly and add consommé for smooth sauce.
