Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the steak into thin slices and brown them in a skillet.
- In a 2-quart casserole, add the snow peas, mushrooms, celery, onions, and browned meat.
- Prepare the gravy mixture by adding brown gravy mix, water, cornstarch, soy sauce, and grated ginger root to the skillet used for browning the meat.
- Cook until thickened, then pour the gravy over the vegetables and meat in the casserole.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes.
- Serve hot over noodles or rice.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, marinate the round steak in soy sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. If fresh mushrooms are not available, you can substitute with canned mushrooms or omit them altogether. For a vegetarian twist, consider using tofu instead of steak and browse more vegan recipes for inspiration. Ensure the gravy mixture is well stirred to avoid lumps from the cornstarch.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Oriental Steak hot over a bed of noodles or rice for a hearty meal. It pairs beautifully with a side of Sweet And Pungent Carrots for a colorful plate. For added crunch, consider adding a side of Cabbage Crunch(Chinese Salad). This dish also works well with steamed broccoli or a fresh garden salad.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Oriental Steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently. Adding a splash of water can help maintain moisture during reheating.
