What’s for Dinner Tonight? Rosh Chodesh Steak Taco’s with Ranch Dressing
Today is the start of Rosh Chodesh Elul! (time for us all to do some Teshuvah!)
This also means, camp is over and BACK TO SCHOOL -is only a few days away! It’s is a glorious day here on the east coast so I hope you all are getting your last licks of summer in!
For dinner tonight – I suggest don’t fuss on account of Rosh Chodesh – instead make this easy 5 minute dinner that is fantastic and will be very appreciated by all tonight!
The cutting and sauteing literally takes minutes and once you add all the ingredients in to a whole wheat wrap or a pita bread – it is a party with every bite!
I am just so sorry I forgot about this recipe most of the summer and it is the first time in a few months that I am actually enjoying this terrific sandwich meal. I usually pair it with some grilled corn or steamed broccoli and toasted pine nuts as a side.
I also included my pareve ranch dressing recipe as a great drizzle on top of the steak taco or to dip your steamed broccoli in!
Have a wonderful Rosh Chodesh Day!

Steak Taco
I like to cut my own steak slices from whole minute steaks or steaks that have been deboned – which I get at my local butcher – but you can use pre-packaged pepper steak or skirt steak for this recipe as well.
Ingredients:
- 2lbs Steak Slivers
- 2 large white onion, julienne
- 2 yellow pepper, julienne
- 2 red pepper, julienne
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 tbsp. sesame oil
- kosher salt black pepper
- 1 tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. ginger powder
- 1 tsp. ground mustard
- 1 tsp. dried cilantro
- 1 tsp. dried parsley
Directions:
In a wok or large frying pan, heat up the olive oil and sesame oil till smoking. Add the steak pieces and suatee for about 3 minutes. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper and mix well with a wooden spoon.
Add the onions, both peppers, and all the spices and sautee everything for about 10 minutes or until meat is fully cooked. – If you you feel things are a little dry you can add some more sesame oil or a little sweet teriyaki or soy sauce for more flavor.
Remove mixture from flame and add to your whole wheat wraps or pita and serve with some Pareve Ranch Dressing.
