What's For Din Din Tonight

Happy Friday Night, All!

I made some Steak Pizzaiola tonight, which is basically thinly-sliced beef sauteed and simmered in peppers and tomato sauce...Yum!  I also made Birds Eye frozen "Asparagus Stir-Fry".

I made the Steak Pizzaiola by first sauteing some chopped garlic in olive oil.  When the garlic was sizzling nicely, but not brown, I added the thinly sliced beef to the pan.  I then seasoned the beef with freshly-ground black pepper, red pepper flakes, oregano, and just a dash of salt.  

When the slices of beef were slightly browned on both sides, I added some parsley, 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced and 1/2 Vidalia onion, also sliced, on top.  Then I covered the pan and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

Then I transferred everything to an oven pan, spooned some tomato sauce on top, and let it cook some more in a 400 degree oven, for about another 15 minutes! 

The flavors really meld together beautifully in the "oven" step, and the beef and peppers get soft and yummy!

As I mentioned, I took some help tonight from Birds Eye brand Asparagus Stir-fry, which has not only asparagus in it, but also string beans, cauliflower, carrots, and even pasta! I prepared as per the package directions, BUT personalized it by adding a dash of Sesame Oil and Teriyaki Sauce!  

Ahhh, the best of both food worlds...Italian, and some Asian flavors going on in the Veggie Stir-Fry!  It doesn't get better than this!

Please feel free to share a recipe with me, or if you try one of mine, let me know how it turned out.  

Ciao,  再见
