Pan-Grilled Steak with Balsamic Peppers

Mirj's Note:

This is one of my favorite ways to serve steak. The smell of the peppers cooking in the balsamic vinegar is tantalizing! Very easy and impressive.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 4 (6 ounce) steaks
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• ¼ cup olive oil (try to use extra-virgin)
• 2 red bell peppers , cut into strips
• 2 yellow bell peppers , cut into strips
• 3 cloves garlic , minced
• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar

Directions:

1. Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pan on medium-high heat until hot.
2. Sprinkle steaks with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
3. Cook to desired doneness, about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
4. Remove steaks from the pan and set aside to keep warm.
5. Add the olive oil to the pan until hot, about 1 minute.
6. Add the peppers and cook, stirring often, until browned and soft, about 8 minutes.

Delicious! I used Scotch Fillet steak and as I didnt have any yellow peppers I used red and green. I found one of each was enough. The balsamic vinegar smelled so good when added. Thanks for posting.

This was pretty good!! I used only green peppers (that's all I had), and I also threw in some sliced onions. Ate it all up!!
