Steak and Peppers

So, I did the pepper steak again.  This time, with the correct cut of steak (sirloin) and teriyaki sauce rather than some soy sauce.  Finding I felt a lacking amount of biomass, I went with half a yellow pepper, half a red pepper, about half a dozen pearl onions  and two slices of a red onion that I previously had for the salmon. It need not be said, I am a fan of onions.

The steak, peppers, potatoes, and onions on the foil before cooking.

Trying the pepper steak again.  In part because I had ideas fresh in my mind and I wanted to use up the chuck cut so that I could have a good excuse to get some good sirloin next time I get food.

I wanted a bit more biomass than I had previously, so I tossed two potatoes in with it.  Ultimately, this was a mistake.  While I like potatoes in many forms, the potatoes were not completely cooked.  This will probably have to be done as a skillet or baking pan cooking instead.  From one recipe I’m looking at, it has 50 minutes of baking.  The skillet is a little bit faster with about 20 minutes spent over the stove.

The onions though, are superb and more bell peppers would be good.

Some time back I got a recipe book of things to make with aluminum foil.  This book is particularly good for me because the recipes while for four people are for making four packets of food.  This means it perfectly scales to one for cooking.
