Really delightful recipe! The vinegars give it a great bite! Can't go wrong with the spice mix here either. I marinated the meat for 24 hrs (because I had started rather late the night before and was too hungry to wait 3 hours! so I left it in the fridge till next day). Did everything else as directed, served over jasmine rice. I'll definitely make this again. Thanks!

5 stars all the way! This is simply addicting. The steak is well seasoned and the yellow pepper sauce compliments it so nicely. I use Penzey's hungarian paprika which is a bit hotter than your average. It gives it that extra punch. Yummy yum yum.
