Quick Pepper Steak Stir Fry | Weeknight Favorite

beef steak

🥗Healthier: lean cuts of beef

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Lean cuts are lower in fat; pork is often less expensive.

bell peppers

🥗Healthier: mixed bell peppers

💰Cheaper: frozen bell pepper strips

Mixed peppers provide more nutrients; frozen options are budget-friendly.

Chop one red bell pepper, one green bell pepper, and one white onion.

Peel the onion, cut off the ends, and slice it thinly, keeping the slices in a bowl.

Slice the bell peppers by cutting the sections off and removing the membrane, then slice them into strips.

Add the sliced bell peppers to the bowl with the onions.

Trim any excess fat from the flank steak and slice it against the grain into thin strips.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Once the oil is hot, add the chopped veggies and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until tender and browned, tossing every minute.

Remove the veggies from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Add a little more olive oil to the skillet and heat it up again.

Add the flank steak to the skillet in a single layer and season with 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.

Cook the steak on medium-high heat for about 5 to 7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
