Beef with Peppers and Onions

Posted July 11, 2012 By janice Beef with Peppers and Onions

So, top sirloin was on sale today so that’s what I was  making for dinner tonight.  And since I didn’t feel like buying anything else at the time, I had to decide what I was going to do with it when I got home.  This is what I had so…

BEEF WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS

1 1/2-2 lbs top sirloin, cut into 2 inch strips
1 T cornstarch
garlic powder
1/2 cup low sodium beef broth
1/4 cup hot water
2 T white wine
1 large onion, thickly sliced1 red bell pepper, thickly sliced
1 dozen grape tomatoes, halved
3 T low sodium soy sauce
1 t zero-calorie brown sugar

Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray.  Toss the meat in and sprinkle with cornstarch and garlic powder.  Toss meat until all sides are browned.  Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.  Reduce to a simmer and cover.  Cook over low heat for an hour.

Italian chicken with Hot cherry Peppers

Posted on March 15, 2012 by Janice Italian chicken with hot cherry peppers

I tell you that cherry peppers in the dish the greatly changed.  The flavour is therefore different from a pepper or a roasted pepper.  I assume that because they are pickled, they add a new dimension.  And I strongly suggest to serve on noodles.  I boiled the noodles first, then added to the Pan at the last minute that they could really absorb some of the flavor of the sauce.  They have tasted like an Asian noodles for me.  Enjoy!  Happy Thursday!

CHICKEN ITALIAN WITH HOT CHERRY PEPPERS

8 thighs chicken boneless and Skinless, boneless
8 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
juice of half a lemon
2 T tomato paste
5 large peppers marinated, sliced cherries
7 oz 1 package Angel Hair Shirataki

Season chicken with salt and pepper and sauté in a pan in a little spray of cooking for 5 minutes each side.  Remove and set aside.  Add garlic and onion and sauté an another 5 minutes.  Put the chicken in a pan and add broth, lemon juice, tomatoes and pepper paste.  Simmer for 10 minutes or until sauce has reduced slightly and the chicken is cooked perfectly.  The sauce was so delicious, if I served the hair of Angel Shirataki chicken, so I could eat everything!
