Something for the Anime Fans
For anyone still recovering from Netflix’s offensive adaptation of Cowboy BeBop, just remember that the original masterpiece is also available to stream. While we binge the show, let us indulge ourselves in a popular dish from the first episode: bell peppers and beef. It’s delicious, simple, and open to interpretation, so here’s my version.Bell Peppers and Beef
- top sirloin steak
- 1 green bell pepper
- mushrooms
- 1 orange
- salt
- onion powder
- garlic powder
- ground ginger
- olive oil
Slice your steak into thin strips and place into a container. Slice your orange into eighths so you can squeeze half into the beef and the rest for a quick beverage. Close the container of beef and OJ and let sit in the fridge overnight. When you pull out your beef, drain some but not all of the juice and season it with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Place a large pan onto a stove over medium-high heat and leave it to get the pan really hot. While that’s warming up, rinse and slice your bell pepper and mushrooms into thin slices. When everything’s ready, put some olive oil onto the pan so you can throw your beef in after. After the vegetables are good, place the beef to the side and drop your pepper and mushrooms into the pan with the meat juice and some more olive oil and keep stirring. After a while, throw the beef back into the pan and cook until the bell peppers are soft.
