Smart Tips
-
Resting the Meat: Always allow your steak to come to room temperature before cooking. After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes to ensure the juices redistribute evenly.
-
Steak Thickness: Ideally, use steaks that are at least 1-inch thick. This ensures a good sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
-
Heat Management: Ensure your skillet or grill is hot before placing the steak. A good sear locks in the flavors.
-
Alternative Peppers: Feel adventurous? Swap out one of the bell peppers for a spicier variety or a different sweet pepper to change up the flavor profile.
-
Serving Suggestions: This dish pairs beautifully with roasted potatoes or a fresh green salad. Add a glass of red wine for a complete gourmet experience.
