Griff's Easy Beef Creole


Hi everyone--it's great to be back! Here is a very easy and quick recipe I put together for a quick dinner recently. The results were astounding!

Ingredients:

1.25 lb. any kind of beef steak sliced into 1/4" strips
4 tbsp. olive oil
4 tbsp. butter
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. Louisiana hot sauce
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tbsp. Lawry's® seasoned pepper (or ground black pepper)
2.25 cups Spicy Hot V-8® vegetable juice
6 servings prepared white rice

Instructions:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. In a separate large pan, heat the butter over low-medium heat. Add the green bell pepper, the onion, and the celery to the heated
butter and saute until everything is tender. Add the beef strips to the oil in the large skillet and season with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and seasoned pepper (or ground black pepper) while browning. Turn the beef several times until browned thoroughly. Then add the sauteed vegetables, the V-8® juice, the Worcestershire sauce and the Louisiana hot sauce to the beef. Simmer for about 15 minutes stirring occasionally. Serve on top of the rice--makes about six servings.
