This particular recipe is a delicious blend of round steak, vegetables, and spices that cooks into a fragrant, saucy mixture that I always served over mashed potatoes. My taste buds been longing for that old favorite from the time in my life when I was surrounded by a happy and loving family. So I set out to veganize it. Nobody was more surprised than me when it turned out to be nearly as good as the real thing.
As for the Pepper Steak itself, I changed nothing except for substituting tempeh for the round steak. Who knew the whole concoction would be good enough to deserve its own blog? Happy chomping.
PEPPER STEAK/TEMPEH
1 package tempeh
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 Tbs. flour
Cut tempeh into bit size pieces, dredge in the flour, then brown in the hot oil in an oven-proof pot with a lid. The tempeh will look and taste more like the real thing if it has a good crust on it. Remove from the heat.
Add to the pot:
1/2 cup catsup
1 cup No Beef broth (use vegetable broth if you can't find the other)
1 large onion, chopped
2 green peppers, sliced into rings
1 cup mushrooms, sliced (I used baby bellas)
3 Tbs. soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Mix everything to distribute the seasonings. Cover and cook in the oven at 350 for an hour. Serve over the mashed potatoes. Enjoy.
Vegans never sleep; we are always thinking up new ways to veganize old favorites |
