Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 4 steaks
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, divided
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 red bell peppers
- 2 yellow bell peppers
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat Pan: Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until hot. This ensures a good sear on your steaks. |
| 2 | Season Steaks: Sprinkle both sides of the steaks with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. This adds flavor to the meat before cooking. |
| 3 | Grill Steaks: Place the steaks in the hot pan and cook to your desired doneness, approximately 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time according to your preference. Once done, remove the steaks from the pan and set aside to keep warm. |
| 4 | Prepare Peppers: In the same pan, add the olive oil and heat for about a minute. Meanwhile, slice the red and yellow bell peppers into strips. |
| 5 | Cook Peppers: Add the sliced peppers to the hot pan and cook, stirring often, until they are browned and softened, which should take about 8 minutes. |
| 6 | Add Flavor: Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the pan along with the balsamic vinegar and the remaining salt and pepper. Stir well to combine. |
| 7 | Reduce Liquid: Continue cooking, stirring often, until all the liquid has evaporated, leaving behind a rich, flavorful sauce. This should take about 2 minutes. |
| 8 | Serve: Spoon the balsamic peppers over the grilled steaks, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Serve immediately and enjoy the deliciousness! |
