EASY PEPPER STEAK

Steps:

• Slice the onion and green bell pepper into 1/4" thick slices, set aside.
• Place round steak on cutting board. Trim off any excess fat from around the edges. Using a meat mallet (pointed side), tenderize the steak until it is approx 1/2" thick. Cut round steak into 6 - 8 pieces.
• Heat vegetable oil in large skillet over med-high heat.
• Sprinkle the round steak with half of the salt, black pepper & garlic powder, to taste. Lay pieces of round steak (seasoned side down) into the heated oil, working in batches and adding oil if necessary. While browning the first side, season the top sides with the remaining salt, pepper & garlic powder. Brown approx 2 minutes, then flip to brown the other side.
• At this point, you can throw ALL of the ingredients into a crock pot insert (or you can reserve peppers and onions until 1 hour before done and then add to crockpot, so they are firmer). Cover the insert and refrigerate overnight to start in the morning on low for 6-8 hours (be sure to let insert rest on counter for 30 minutes before placing into the crockpot), or you can start crockpot right away without refrigerating over night. Then refer to steps #7 - #8.
• Now, this is how I usually prepare this dish. Using steps #1 - #4, add to skillet the onion, green bell pepper, tomato sauce, water and ketchup (if using). Add any additional seasoning, to taste. Stir to mix. Cover, lower heat and gently simmer approx 60 - 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• While meat is simmering, you can prepare either mashed potatoes (my family's preferred choice) or egg noodles or white rice.
• When the meat is fork tender, remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes. Serve pepper steak and sauce over a bed of mashed potatoes, egg noodles or white rice and ENJOY!

STEAK FRITES WITH LEMON AND PEPPER SEASONING AND EASY HOLLANDAISE

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Slice the potatoes into thin wedges and put in a medium bowl. Add the oil, melted butter and seasoning salt and toss to coat. Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Cook, turning once halfway through, until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• For the easy hollandaise: In a small saucepan, melt the butter until sizzling.
• Put the egg yolks in a blender and turn to low to allow the yolks to combine. Begin pouring in the very hot butter in a thin stream; the blender should remain on the whole time, and the butter should be poured in very slowly. Keep adding the butter until it's all gone, then immediately begin adding the lemon juice. Check the blender to make sure the sauce is still liquidy and moving easily through the blades. If not, add a little more juice and give it a stir, then blend again. Add the cayenne pepper and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Transfer to a serving pitcher and cover with foil until serving.
• For the lemon and pepper seasoning: In a ziptop bag, crack the peppercorns using a rolling pin. Add to a small bowl with the lemon zest, kosher salt, garlic powder, mustard powder, onion powder and sugar and mix well to combine.
• For the steak: Heat a grill pan or large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
• Brush the steaks with melted butter on both sides and season with the lemon and pepper seasoning. Cook, basting the steaks occasionally with more melted butter, until cooked to desired doneness, 2 to 4 minutes a side. Rest for a minute or so.
• To serve, arrange the potato wedges on a platter, add the steaks and drizzle with the hollandaise. Serve with iceberg wedges and ranch dressing.
