Cantonese Pepper Steak for Two (Or More)
"This recipe makes a great duo dinner. Or, you can easily double, triple or even quadruple it! Assemble in advance, then just throw in the oven 30 minutes before you are ready to eat! Serve over hot noodles or rice. Update: I have to admit that I prefer a good sirloin or filet mignon, but my DH actually prefers the top round steak (as written) in this recipe. Add minced garlic in place of the garlic powder, if you like, and also a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, is good. Recipe is from Cooking Sampler for 1 or 2 with Reynolds Consumer Products. Uses one regular size (10"x16") Reynolds Oven Cooking Bag (or use heavy duty aluminum foil)."

This was a quick meal to put together. But I just found it missing a bit of flavor. I had marinated it overnight, but the meat wasn't as tender as I thought it would be so from now on I am going to use fillet mignon only and slice accordingly. I am pretty well guaranteed it would be tender with some flavor. But I will try this again but tweak it just a bit. My Daughter thought this was great though. Thanks for sharing BecR

<p>Married to my sweetheart for almost forty years and we have two wonderful children who are grown and have flown the coop. Also, we have been blessed with a wonderful son-in-law and beautiful daughter-in-law, plus FIVE grandchildren: two beautiful granddaughters ages five and eight, and three sweet adorable little grandsons ages 2 months, 2 years and 3 years. My husband and I share a combination of English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Dutch, Swiss, Polish, Austrian, German and French heritage, and our son-in-law and daughter-in-law are both Hispanic. We've traveled extensively to many countries abroad (we lived in Germany), and have traveled and lived in several states here in the U.S.A. Many of the recipes I post here are influenced by our combined heritage or from our travels, or they are old family favorites that I want to share with you. I hope you enjoy! Have been to culinary school with many years of cooking (mostly for my family) under my belt, so know my way around a kitchen. And I'm very lucky to have the best sous chef in the world, dddddh! One of my favorite chefs of all time is Jacques Pepin! I have several of his cookbooks, and enjoy watching his television cooking show Fast Food My Way. Another top favorite is Julia Child (of course!). A few other chefs I read/enjoy watching on t.v. are: Giada At Home, Ina Garten's The Barefoot Contessa, Nigella Lawson's Nigella Bites, and Patti's Mexican Kitchen, and many more. On my bucket list is dining at Thomas Keller's establishment The French Laundry in Napa Valley, California... as well as Alice Waters' Chez Panisse in Berkeley, and the James Beard award winning Tartine Bakery and Cafe in San Francisco. One day!! Hobbies/Interests: Decorating with fresh flowers and herbs from the garden is my passion, and brings me deep joy! It's really hard to beat!! I love connecting with others who enjoy the same. Gardening, decorating, sewing, music, dancing, film, and reading are also up there. Spending quality time with my grandchildren, family, and friends (and cooking holiday meals!). Currently, a newfound passion has been so richly rewarding for me: genealogical research. I heart ancestry dot com. And last but certainly not least, I absolutely LOVE cats--we have two half-Siamese fur babies (cats) that allow us to live here!! A Note of Thanks~ I try to personally thank everyone who kindly makes and reviews my recipes, but sometimes I am busy, late, or may forget. Please know that I am always humbled that you would try one of my recipes, and I enjoy reading the reviews and seeing all the pretty photographs. Thanks so much! </p>
