Pan-roasted Sirloin with onions and peppers

Submitted by Hey Jude

"Really great, Saturday night supper! I serve this with twice-baked potatoes and caesar salad. My adaptation of a Mr. Food recipe."

 

• Ready In: 42mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 lbs sirloin steaks
• 2 teaspoons fresh coarse ground black pepper
• salt
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 onions, cut into wedges
• 1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

directions

1. Rub steak with ground pepper and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
2. Heat a large, heavy skillet (I use my old cast iron skillet) over medium-high heat; when hot, add 1 tablespoon of the oil, then add the steak.
3. Cook about 7 minutes per side for medium-rare; remove from skillet and place on a serving platter, cover loosely with foil and keep warm.
4. Pour off any fat from skillet and add remaining 2 tablespoons of the oil; add onions to the skillet, saute about 4 minutes, or until soft and slightly browned; add sliced peppers, garlic and basil; saute about 10 minutes, or until the peppers are soft.
5. Add balsamic vinegar and give it a few stirs.
6. Slice the steak into 1/2-inch thick, diagonal slices; dump the onion/pepper mixture on top of the steak slices and dig in.

Very good flavor - loved the sweet/sour taste of the cooked/carmelized veggies and the balsamic vinegar with the peppery steak. I used fresh basil instead of dried. Next time I'll cook the veggies a little less, to preserve a bit of texture/crispness - our preference. Very easy recipe to make - perfect for Saturday night, as mentioned!
