Steak - With a sauce

Or some sort of something on it. I got a new combo blender/food processor yesterday, and made sauce for the steak. We also had some home fried potato chips, but we ate them all before they got to the plates. The sauce has:
  • bell peppers
  • onions
  • garlic
  • celery
  • turnip
  • parsley
  • salt
  • pepper
