I was raised in the South, when I move to MN 13 years ago I was at the grocery store and could not find Orzo. I found someone in the store and asked them and they never heard of it.
They wanted to know what it was used for.

OP: try using oyster sauce and a little soy sauce in your pepper steak. The oyster sauce gives it better flavor. Plus you use less ingredients. No need for flour, sherry or beef consomme.
