I adapted the recipe to fit my day. The steak was breaded and fried early in the day and then set aside. Later that evening, the steak was placed in a foil lined pan sauce, veggies were added, and the recipe baked uncovered for 50 minutes on 350 oven. We found the steak was still fairly tough and it would have benefited for a longer cook time. There was still loads of sauce and the recipe had enough onions and peppers. The sauce thickened, has notes of celery seed, and a nice hint of tart from the ponzu. The meal was served with mixed colors of fingerling potatoes, garlic bread, and a green salad. I wish I had followed the instructions though & stuck with the suggested rice. I saved the leftover sauce to serve over potatoes later in the week. <br/>Next time? I would use tenderized round for frying & increase the baking time. Good luck in the contest!

This recipe makes a lot of sauce to go with the meat. I really wanted mashed potatoes so served this over mashed potatoes instead of over the rice. This turned out a bit sweet, so I think I'd half the amount of Pepsi and ketchup next time. I'll also simmer a bit longer to allow the meat to get a bit more tender. Overall, this tasted very good. Thanks for posting, and good luck in the contest!
