FLORIDA SWEET BELL PEPPERS WITH BEEF

Ingredients:
2 medium Florida bell peppers (your color choice), seeds and stem removed, sliced into ¼-inch strips
1 pound top sirloin or your favorite cut of beef, excess fat trimmed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
Olive oil for sautéing
½ onion, thinly sliced lengthwise (to match peppers)
1 large Florida tomato, roughly chopped
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

Trim any visible excess fat from the beef. Cut the beef across the grain into ¼-inch-wide strips that are as long as the peppers and onions. Season the steak strips with kosher salt and pepper. Add chopped garlic to seasoned steak and let sit in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. While the steak is sitting, heat a couple of tablespoons of oil in a large sauté pan on medium-high to high heat. When the oil starts to smoke, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. While stirring, cook until the peppers and onions are just barely starting to become tender, about 1-2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for another minute. Remove the vegetables from the sauté pan to a bowl and set aside. In the same sauté pan, heat an additional 2 Tbsp. of oil on medium-high to high heat until the oil is almost smoking. Carefully add the strips of beef, and let them brown on both sides without much stirring. As soon as the beef reaches the desired doneness, add the cooked vegetables and Worcestershire, and cook quickly. Remove from heat and serve with seasoned brown rice or rice noodles.
