20 #SundaySupper Gluten Free Peppered Steak #FamilyDinnerTable


I was the first of three children, so my mom stayed at home for the majority of my childhood until all three of us were a certain age. Once a week after school, she would make peppered steak because it was affordable and an easy way of sneaking in some vegetables. Whenever I see peppered steak I think of my mom and all of the love she provided us through food she prepared.

My mom also had a part time cake business when she stayed at home, and she would allow us to come in and help her with making the cake batters and spreading the first layer of frosting. My mom has inspired me to include my future kids in a similar fashion to get them excited about homemade meals. Kids love to learn through experimentation and hands-on interaction, so letting children help with some of the easier tasks in the kitchen can help bring the family together in the kitchen. Another thing my mom always made a point to do was to turn off all televisions in the house and sit down at the dinner table for a family dinner at least once a week. It’s a great way of having the family come together and to learn about your family’s day-to-day events.

American Family Insurance’s Back to Table Campaign reminds me of all of these wonderful childhood memories surrounding food. I believe that love is an ingredient of food when you’re with family, and I’m glad that the Sunday Supper group has teamed together with AmFam to bring family dinners to a discussion!

Gluten Free Peppered Steak

Serves 4
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook time 20 minutes

 Ingredients
1 cup uncooked rice
2 cups rice
1 onion
3 cloves garlic
1 bell pepper
1/3 cup gluten free soy sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp red wine
½ tsp gluten free corn starch
1 ½ lb thinly sliced steak, preferably top round

Steps
Rinse the rice under cold water. Place the 2 cups rice in a small pot over high heat. Once boiling, add the rice, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes.

While the rice cooks, chop the onion and mince the garlic. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to a pan and cook the onion and garlic over medium heat until the onions become translucent. Add the red wine, soy sauce, and sugar to the pan. Stir to combine. Slice the bell pepper and steak into strips. Stir the corn starch into the sauce, and add the pepper and steak to the pan. Stir occasionally until the steak is tender and cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Remove the steak and sauce from the pan and serve with the rice.
