Beef, red peppers, rice, and roasted root vegetable salad is for dinner...
We are working our way through the family meat pack stored in our freezer. We had some beef left - still have a little more - and I took it out in time to defrost. If it 's not ground beef, I am at a loss as what to make. Well, I could always put it in a pan but it is not really my favorite. I asked Ron, and he came up with the idea to marinate the beef, cut it into thin strips and serve it with peppers. So, that is what I did. Marinated the beef this morning in lemon juice, garlic, and peppercorns. I sautéed an onion, and a couple of red peppers. Then I put the meat into the smoking hot pan. Served along rice, and roasted root vegetable - carrot, parsnip, golden beet, turnip - salad this was a dinner success in our little house in Portland. One child ate all her meat, beets, and rice, while the other ate all veggies, rice, and one slice of beef....
