Pepper Steak Heroes, pg. 106

Almost a month since my last recipe adventure.  Seems as though the only time that I contemplate cooking a decent meal is when my family visits.  My mother visited this past weekend.  I had some peppers to use, and she - like a saint - was able to go grocery shopping for the rest of the ingredients.  Love ya, Mom!

The recipe calls for 3 bell peppers, 1 large Spanish onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, beef cube steaks and whole wheat hero rolls.  Mom and I prepped the ingredients.  The peppers go into the skillet to cook for 3 minutes first.  The onions, salt and pepper are added to the peppers and cooked for 8 minutes, and the whole mixture was removed from the skillet.  We cooked the steak whole for 2 minutes on each side.  I then sliced the steak into strips and put it onto a roll with the pepper and onion mixture.

The only "beef" that I have with steak sandwiches is that once you bite, you have to tear the steak to get a bite.  However, the flavor was great.  It got a big thumbs up from my husband.  I can't remember how many times in a row that he said he liked it (12?), but I got the idea that this meal can go on his I-could-have-it-every-week list.  Mom liked it as well, and we discussed the possibility of substituting London Broil for cube steak in the sandwich.  Hmmm, the possibilities...
