Italian-Style Pepper Steak

Italian Style Pepper Steak

Tender Steak

Pepper steak has been around along time. It tastes great and is simple to make. We’ll just add some garlic, onions, oregano and fresh plum tomatoes and Italianize it a little bit.

You could use filet Mignon or sirloin for this dish though I prefer the tenderloin. The sweet flavors of the peppers and caramelized onions and the tenderness of the steak will melt in your mouth like butter. You can serve this dish by itself or with a side of creamy Parmesan risotto.

This Italian-Style Pepper Steak is something I’m sure you and your family will enjoy.
