PEPPERS, ONIONS AND MUSHROOMS
This is a lower fat, less expensive version of my Mushroom Duxelle recipe#155924. This also freezes so well that it is worth making large quanities...especially when any of the ingredients are on sale.

Steps:
- Clean and cut all vegetables (remove stems from mushrooms) except garlic, into strips about 1/2-inch size. (this may seem like alot, but it cooks down).
- Using large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
- Add only onions first. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Lower heat to simmer and continue to cook for 15 minutes or until starting to get golden color.
- Raise heat to medium-high, add peppers and salt, Stir well into onions. Continue to cook until peppers JUST START to get soft.
- Add mushrooms, combining well.
- Add black pepper, garlic, and pepper flakes.
- Stir well. Lower heat to simmer. DO NOT COVER as this will poach vegetables.
- Continue to simmer until mushrooms give off their juices but are still firm. It is important NOT to overcook as they will cook again when reheated to be used.
- Remove skillet from heat. Stir.
- Allow to cool. Peppers and mushrooms should still have body to them.
- I like to bag portions in plastic sandwich bags, spread out so they are flat in bag. This makes for easy storage once they are frozen. I then place several bags into a freezer storage bag.
- I have kept this mix frozen for over a year without change in flavor.

SPICY BEEF WITH PEPPERS
Steps:
- Cut steak with grain into 1 1/2- to 2-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip across grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Put slices into a medium bowl with soy sauce, cornstarch, rice wine, garlic, ginger, 1/4 teaspoon salt, sugar, and 1 teaspoon oil and stir with a fork. 3Stir together ketchup, hoisin, and chile garlic sauce in a small bowl.
- Heat wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Pour 2 teaspoons oil down side of wok, then swirl oil, tilting wok to coat sides. Add beef, spreading pieces in 1 layer on bottom and sides as quickly as possible. Cook, undisturbed, letting beef begin to brown, 1 minute, then stir-fry until meat is just browned on all sides but still pink in center, about 1 minute. Transfer meat and any juices to a plate.
- Pour remaining 2 teaspoons oil down side of unwashed wok over high heat, then swirl oil, tilting wok to coat sides. Add bell pepper, scallions, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir-fry 30 seconds, then add reserved beef with any juices and ketchup mixture. Stir-fry until combined well and sauce thickens slightly, about 30 seconds, then transfer to a platter.
MARINATED MUSHROOMS WITH RED BELL PEPPERS
This is perfect for a buffet or as a football appetizer menu addition. I make these a couple of days ahead and store them in a glass jar. Even non-mushroom-eaters like this one. On occasion, I kick this up by adding 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes instead of the black pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms: For the best flavor and texture, use a variety of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
- Slice the mushrooms evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the mushrooms, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam instead of sautéing.
- Use a high-quality olive oil: A good olive oil will add flavor to the dish and help prevent the mushrooms from sticking to the pan.
- Season the mushrooms well: Be generous with salt and pepper, and add other spices to taste.
- Cook the mushrooms until they are tender: Depending on the type of mushrooms you are using, this will take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add the bell peppers and cook until they are soft: This will take about 5 minutes.
- Finish the dish with a squeeze of lemon juice: This will brighten up the flavors and add a touch of acidity.
