Pepper Steak Using Leftover Roast

I made a venison roast on Sunday with polenta.  On Monday, I fried the leftover polenta and served it with chunks of roast in the gravy.  On Tuesday, I cooked slices of the roast with garlic and onions and served it with mashed potatoes.  Today, Thursday, there was still roast, even after several roast beef sandwiches had been eaten, but I was kind of tired of that familiar “roast” taste.  So, I decided to try something new and completely different.  I used the leftovers to make a pepper steak to serve with rice.  It was great!  The meat was so tender and it had a completely different taste.   I will keep this recipe in mind next time we have leftovers.  It was a big success.
