The Aussie Gourmet: Pepper Steak with Noodles

In The K tchen One Pan Pepper Steak with Noodles and Broccoli

by Naomi Nachman

Wow, did this summer go fast! It is already back-to-school season by the time you blink. With the chagim coming up so early this year, my preference is to keep weeknight dinners quick and easy. For the first evening once school has started, as a special treat, I like to make one of my kids’ favorite dishes. I created this dish as a one-pan wonder. Not only is it delicious, your kids will fight for the leftovers for their school lunches. It also freezes really well.

Ingredients

b4 lbs. pepper steak b1 cup flour b1 teaspoon kosher salt b3 large onions, sliced into ½ moon rings b1 jar Mikey’s Sesame Teriyaki sauce b1 cup water b2 packages ramen noodle soup squares by

Gefen (discard the flavor packets) b1 package frozen broccoli florettes

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 275°F. 2. In a small bowl, mix the flour and salt together. Dredge each piece of pepper steak in the flour on both sides. Place it in an oven-to-tableware dish. Repeat with remaining slices of steak. 3. Place onions on top of the meat. 4. Pour the sauce and water over the meat and onions and toss well. 5. Cover with heavy duty foil and bake for 2 ½ hours. 6. Take out the meat and place the noodles squares on top of the meat. 7. Then toss the frozen broccoli over the noodles and meat; cover and bake for 1 more hour. 8. Remove from oven and toss the noodles in the sauce so it’s well coated.
