1 cup soy sauce
1 cup worchestershire sauce
2 teas. garlic salt
olive oil
2 cups rice cooked
3 cups beef broth
1 cup water
1 small can mushrooms

Cut up steak into srtrips and sprinkle garlic salt on all sides. Place in skillet with olive oil until brown. Mix the soy sauce and worchestershire sauce together and place cooked meat into this mixture, to set while you are cooking the rest. Add sliced peppers and mushrooms to skillet and saute them until desired tenderness. In seperate pot bring water and beef broth to a boil and add rice. Let cook until rice is done and set to side. When peppers and rice are done. Place some rice on a plate and top with the peppers and steak. And enjoy this guys, it is so good...




Angel Food Cake with Strawberry Syrup

I like the cake, it is so light and fluffy. It just melts in your mouth.

1 1/4  sifted cake flour
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teas. salt
1 1/2 teas. cream of tarter
1 teas. vanilla

In a large mixing bowl, put the egg whites and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.  Sift flour with 3/4 cup sugar, sift 3 times and set aside. Beat egg whites on medium speed with salt and cream of tarter. Gradually beat the remaining sugar, 3 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each. Beat at high speed until the eggs form soft peaks. Turn speed to low and add almond and vanilla extract.
Sift in flour mixture 1/4 at a time, mixing at low for 3 seconds after each addition or until completely blended.Using a rubber scraper gently push batter into a ungreased 10 inch tube pan. Cut through batter twice with a knife to level center and remove air pockets. Bake on lower rack in oven for 35 to 40 minutes at 375.  Let cool completely about 2 hours. Invert tube pan over a bottle to cool.
