Day 6

Pepper steak and fried rice

so today's entry is extra special because in todays post I have taken photos to show you the progress of what I feel is my best meal yet! note I will probably say that a lot as I progress, thats kinda of the point of the blog, but

anyways on to the cooking! So tonight I decided to go a little asian with my cooking I started with making pepper steak and in a last minute twist turned my ordinary white rice, into homemade fried rice! ok so to start I chopped up my onions and bell peppers i then pulled out a electric skillet and placed my steak cubes on the skillet to let it brown

once the bottom of the meat browned i flipped it and lightly salted it and let the other side brown once the meat was fully brown i pushed it to the sid

e and poured in the bell peppers and the

onions, after stirring everything together I added a cup of beef broth, and then let everything simmer for 10 mins

after simmering for 1

0 mins I stirred in tomatoes and a mixture of water, beef broth and flower to give the broth in the pan already a gravy like consistency. It was great to see a whole dish made by me coming together. I felt so proud well after I added the tomatoes and the flour I let it simmer for 5 more mins while prepped the rice

once the rice was prepared I decided to continue my good cooking luck and looked through my cookbook for a recipe for fried ric

e....3 eggs, scallions, bell pepper, soy sauce, I had everything needed to make fried rice. So I poured a little oil in the frying pan then added the bell peppers, and scallions. Which immediately began to sizzle and oil was popping like crazy, after a couple of sharp pops from the oil I added the rice into the pan and added soy sauce an

d stirred it all up. It looked pretty good but I thought of all times I have been to any Japanese steakhouse and they always put some kind of seasoning so I added a little bit of onion powder and garlic powder and tasted it, the rice tasted amazing. I could not believe everything was coming out so well!!! Finally I added my whipped up egg to the rice and stirred it all together, I thought this was an odd way to do it, I always thought you scramble the eggs then chop it up and mix it all in together, but I followed the book and mixed it all together

to finish my dish I placed the rice in a bowl as a bed, and then topped with the pepper steak, and so after a long night of cooking my meal was complete! I thought it tu

rned out great and my dad said it was the best thing I have made so far! I cant wait to bring some to work so sarah can try it and tell me what she thinks! Well I leave you all now with the finished product, thanks for reading and always feel free to comment or leave any feedback!
