Mmmm. I kinda want to lick the screen. Was that oversharing?

Hmm, I think oversharing would be telling me what you tasted from your screen after you licked it

This looks SOOO delicious! We had this meal very often at my family restaurant when I was growing up – the staff affectionately called it “slop”.

My family owned a steakhouse and my stepfather would make this with the “scraps” that were left over after trimming the large loins of meat we would get. We couldn’t sell the “scraps” to the customers because they would look down their nose, but what they didn’t know was that those little pieces came from the loin of FILET MIGNON that they were paying through the nose for.

Also, at our restaurant, our rice was mixed with diced onions that were sauteed prior to mixing them in. It gave the rice such a wonderful flavor! So not only was our version of pepper-steak delicious, it was probably some of the highest quality “slop” around.

Add a little Chinese black bean paste and you’ve got a great Black Bean Beef and Pepper stir-fry!

Sounds great to me, although finding that paste here would be next to impossible. Now I have another item on my wishlist from those who send me packages

This is so funny, Michelle – you know your healthier version? That was one of my mom’s go-to recipes when I was a kid and I loved it. To a “T”, but she didn’t use the garlic salt – just pepper. She hates garlic (I love her anyway).

Sorry I’ve been away. You still don’t show up on my reader so I have to remember to come on over, and my week has been nuts as has been my brain so I’ve been missing your wonderful posts!!!! Booohooooo!

I don’t know why I don’t show up in your reader. Google hates me (Google Reader doesn’t even load fully for me, so I use Bloglines).

That’s too funny about your mom–no garlic?! Gah!!!!

Love both items -steak hoagies and pepper steak too! Usually, when we fix cheese steaks here, we throw the shaved steak (frozen) on the griddle and brown it, put cheese on that and then on to the roll where the lettuce, raw chopped tomato, a tiny bit of grilled onion for the son-in-law and me (I can do with more, also raw onion LOL) get added in. But your recipe sounds really good to me too as I do like the Philly cheesesteaks just as much as I like the regular (central PA version) of a cheesesteak.

Oh seriously, all this talk of cheesesteaks…I’m getting homesick!

OMG! You just brought back some serious memories. My mom used to make us “cheese-steaks” as a special treat using those Minute Steaks. I wonder if you can still get them. Not that I would, because your version sounds so much better than those frozen slices. Can’t wait to give this a try. (And your grandmother’s version only with “real” steak.)

I’m Stumbling this, too, btw.

Mmmmm…that looks so delish. And all we’d have to do is serve it over brown rice & it would fit right into the eating plan we’re doing. Yum! Thanks for the inspiration.

Yup, great with brown rice too
