Pepper steak was on sale so I want to do something special for Shabbos Smile

Actual peppery pepper steak is OK but I'm not SO into it so wondering if there is any other delicious idea. I also would need to go buy peppers because I don't own any right now.

Also, because it's for Shabbos, it needs to be something that can be kept warm for at least a couple of hours without starting to taste like cholent.

TIA!

I always serve it with a side of rice.
If you're not so into it, make it differently. Either using a different sauce that you do like, and/or switching out the peppers for some other julienned strips of vegetables.

I am actually making beef and broccoli this week with pepper steak. Its a crockpot recipe so my plan is to keep it in the crock til dinner. Add a side of brown rice and thats enough for us.

ra_mom, details please. I'm not about to experiment with random sauces and veggies and methods on a meat I'm not familiar with.

I thought I heard that with beef and broccoli if you leave it too long the broccoli gets yucky? How does that work with a crockpot?

I am going to make this. I planned on assembling tonight and putting it on the second I walked in the door tomorrow.

Omit the soy sauce and peppers and add some more salt to taste. Undercook it if you’re planning on keeping it hot for a number of hours but don’t want it to taste like cholent.
Steam some broccoli separately, keep at room temp, and mix together right before serving.

hmmm... what can I use instead of BBQ sauce? Due to both allergies and health concerns I don't buy any prepared sauces except ketchup.

Again with all the sugar! Is there anything to do with pepper steak that DOESN'T call for tons of sugar? I never use sugar in real food, only in desserts/nosh!

I am pretty health concious but I appreciate the balance of sweet and savory especially in Asian food. I will use coconut sugar occasionally on a main course.

I could hear a balance of sweet and savory but these recipes are like a CUP of sugar for a couple of pounds of meat. Seriously?! I'll drizzle a bit of honey over chicken or vegetables from time to time but nothing like that.

For tomorrow I'm reverting to regular chicken that I can make in my sleep because that's what I'm pretty much doing anyway. Everything is still frozen so it doesn't make a difference other than that we were looking forward to the possibility of something different. This way I have a few more days to decide on a recipe and secure ingredients.

This recipe is quick and delicious. It is forgiving enough that you can substitute salt for soy, etc.

Go with the advice of undercooking.

Hi. When u find THE sauce recipe that doesn't have tons of sugar or soy sauce or BBQ sauce, please be so kind and share it with me!
(I have to omit ketchup as well so not sure I'll ever find one.,.)
Thank you!

Though I'm thinking of asking the allergist if it's safe to use soy sauce because we used it fairly often before we knew about the allergy and had no reaction (the reaction was to actual soy, not soy sauce). Thing is no reaction isn't the same as no effect so I'm waiting for an expert to weigh in because the doctor who diagnosed the allergy didn't seem to have a solid answer to this.

Food allergies are NO fun!
Is turmeric OK? I don't use mustard either, and substitute turmeric in recipes calling for mustard.
