PEPPER STEAK AND THE WOLF

We have a neighbor that has a wolf puppy.  She is so cute and he really does try to take care of her but she gets  out every once in awhile and escapes to our house. She wants to play with out dogs.......they are both old and crotchety and she just annoys them.   She has to run out onto a busy country road to get to our house and we worry that she might get hit.  Since our yard is completely fenced we put her in the yard until the owner gets home. So today, I practiced the "Dog Whisperers" techniques on her........and it really worked.  Molly and Ben.......both sighed a giant relief when the owner came and took her home.  They looked at me and smiled.

Today we had pepper steak.  Like everything else I cook..........I've been cooking this recipe forever..........the recipe card is so stained and bent up.....can hardly make it out but here it is.
Take a small piece of sirloin, trim the fat, cut into several pieces and then beat it with a tenderizer.  Then cut into little strips.  Brown these strips in about 1 Tblsp butter. When browned add 2 cloves of garlic chopped and 1 cup of beef broth........let simmer covered for about 30 min.  Then add coarsely chopped green pepper and white onion. Cover simmer another 5 min. Then when ready to serve......mix 2 Tblsp of cornstarch with 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup (maybe a little less) of soy sauce.  Pour this in to thicken, when thickened add about 3/4 cup chopped tomato's or, I like, cherry tomato's cut in half.........serve over rice.  Bob must have told me 10 times how good it was.........retired to the recliner..........now enjoying the inside of his eyelids!
