Three Pepper "Steak" with Cous Cous and Brussels Sprouts

I was looking for a quick recipe after a long day at work a few weeks ago.  This recipe hit the spot- fast, easy and delicious!

Three Pepper "Steak" 
Ingredients:
1 package of Gardein beefless tips, defrosted
salt and pepper to taste

• whole wheat flour for dredging
• 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
• 1 medium white onion, sliced into half moons
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow or orange pepper, sliced
• 1.5 cups of water
• 2 tablespoons of vegan Worcestershire
• 
  
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Season the "steak" with salt and pepper to taste. Dredge in the flour and shake off the excess. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown the "steak" tips in the oil, then transfer to a large, shallow casserole dish. Sprinkle the garlic, vegan Worcestershire, onion, and green pepper over top, pour in water, and wrap with aluminum foil.

• Bake in preheated oven until steak is tender and vegetables are soft, about 1 1/2 hours. So little prep yet so much flavor.

Cous Cous

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of dry cous cous (I use the plain kind)

1 cup of water

1 teaspoon of nutritional yeast

Salt and Pepper to taste

Bring the water to a boil and add a splash of EVOO and a pinch of salt.  Add the cous cous and nutritional yeast and stir well.  Cover and remove from the heat.  Let stand for 10 minutes and the fluff with a fork and add salt and pepper to tasted.

Balsamic Brussels Sprouts

Ingredients:

1/2 lb of Brussels sprouts, cleaned and halved

EVOO 

Salt and pepper (a pinch of each)

Aged Balsamic vinegar

In a large bowl, toss your Brussels sprouts with some salt and pepper and EVOO until they are well coated.  Lay them out on a baking sheet and roast them in a 350 degree oven.

Once they start brown (about 10 min), drizzle the Balsamic vinegar of them them and place them back in the over for another 5-10 minutes.

Voila!  This is a yummy, balanced dinner that took about 20 minutes.  That's what I am taking about!
