Same Dish, Different Day

I love cooking. It's actually one of my favorite things to do.  Granted, I hate the clean up but I do love experimenting with different things.  It's sometimes a little harder to try all the things I want to try since I only cook for myself and Kiyah. & Kiyah is weird about sauce on her food, and I LOVE sauce on my food.  So I usually stick to the basics during the week.

I feel like sticking to the basics during the week means we eat the same thing over and over again.  That is in large part because when I buy meat, I buy the family pack size, cook some of it, freeze some of it. 

Last night for dinner I made some thin steaks we had in the freezer, and just used the sides (rice and broccoli) that we hadn't finished from the night before.  Now, I feel tired of eating steak with A1 Sauce, or no sauce, so I thought, well, let me try to create a sauce and cook the steak a little differently.

OH.MY.GOSH!! I am a genius.  Honestly, maybe not, but it was frikkin delicious.

Here are the seasonings I used..which is for the most part pretty standard for me.

I seasoned the meat..

 Next I decided to chop up some onions and green peppers.  I lightly drizzled olive oil over them and let them cook for about 3 minutes, after that I added some Worcestershire sauce and let them cook for another 3 minutes or so.  Kiyah won't eat peppers and onions, so I didn't use too many.

 After that I threw the seasoned thin steaks over the simmering onions and peppers and added a bit more Worcestershire sauce. Covered while they cook.

Once the steaks were done I removed them as well as the veggies, just keeping the Worcestershire sauce in the skillet so that I could use it in the sauce I was creating in my mind.

 Into the Worcestershire sauce that was left over I added just a splash of lemon juice, about 3 finger full servings of brown sugar and 2 splashes of teriyaki sauce. I let it cook on low for about 2 minutes, while stirring to be sure the brown sugar melted.  The only reason I didn't measure is because I was just making it up as I went along.  So I would just say do it all to taste if you give it a try.  Here's what the sauce looked like...

It was SO good you guys.  It has like a little bit of a sweeter tangier taste to it.  But it definitely made for a great jazzing up of a regular dinner. I even put it over my broccoli and it was amazing!

Today for lunch I chopped up some of the left over steak, and threw it along with the rice, green peppers and onions into a yellow pepper, drizzled the special sauce over it and baked it for about 10 minutes.  ( I boiled the yellow pepper first)  

YUM YUM YUM!
