Remove core and seeds from peppers. Slice into 1 inch rings andplace on nonstick baking sheet. You should get about 3 rings perpepper. In a large bowl mix together beef, turkey, bread, 1/2 cup ofthe tomatoes, garlic, egg, onion, chopped sage, Worcestershire sauce,hot sauce, and season with salt and pepper.

Add remaining tomatoes to skillet and bake until cookedthrough, 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with sage leaves. Orange Beef ( Serves 4 ) It is easiest to grate the orange zest and remove the strips of orange peel before juicing the oranges; use a sharp vegetable peeler to remove the strips. For extra spiciness, increase the cayenne to 1/2 teaspoon. The whole dried chiles are added for appearance, not flavor, and can be omitted. To fry the beef, use a Dutch oven or a straight-sided sauté pan (with at least 3-quart capacity); do not use a 12-inch skillet with sloped sides, as it will be too small to contain the oil once the beef is added. White rice and steamed broccoli make good accompaniments. Marinade and Sauce

Teriyaki Beef, Rice and Won Tons Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray and Kaeko Sherman Yield: 4 servings Teriyaki Steak: Dipping Sauce for Gyoza: Place 2 pots of water on to boil: 1 pasta pot with a few inches of water in it, 1 medium sauce pan with 1 1/2 cups of water in it. Cover both pots and bring all the water to a boil. When the smaller pot of water comes to a boil, stir in rice and return water to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, stirring rice before replacing the lid. Add 1/2 cup, a couple of handfuls of Napa cabbage to the second pot of water. Blanch the shredded cabbage 1 minute and remove with a spider or tongs to paper towels to drain and cool. Chop shredded blanched cabbage. Combine meat, chopped salad, sake, ginger, 1 scallion, 1 tablespoon tamari, sesame oil, black pepper and cooled, chopped cabbage in a bowl. Place 2 teaspoons of filling on each won ton wrapper. Wet your fingertips to help seal won ton wrappers. The gyoza should look like small half moons. Place 1 or 2 Napa cabbage leaves into the bottom of the colander. The leaves will prevent your dumplings from sticking to the surface of colander. Arrange dumplings on Napa leaf in colander and steam over second larger pot of simmering water. Place large pot lid over the colander to trap the steam. Dumplings need to steam 10 to 12 minutes. While you are working on this, go back and forth with the edamame as necessary per above directions. While dumplings work, slice the fillet steaks thinly across the grain. Toss with seasoning and teriyaki or tamari and sherry. Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat. Add oil and the meat and stir-fry. When meat browns at edges, add scallions and cook 2 minutes more, stirring frequently. Use remaining raw shredded Napa cabbage as a bed to serve your dumplings on. Plate all of your items on little dishes and in small bowls. Mix dipping sauce of tamari, mustard and vinegar for the gyoza and set out alongside dumplings. Warm or cold sake, leftover from cooking, is the perfect beverage and chilled navel oranges or tangerines make a refreshing end to this meal.
