Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain.

- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the thinly sliced flank steak to the skillet.
- Season the steak with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Sauté the steak for about 5-7 minutes, or until the steak is browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced red peppers and onions.
- Season with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Sauté the vegetables for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Return the cooked flank steak to the skillet with the sautéed peppers and onions.
- Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the steak is warmed through and well-coated with the vegetables.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese over the steak and vegetables mixture.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Give the mixture a final stir to combine the melted cheese evenly.
- Serve hot, perhaps over a bed of rice, in a tortilla, or simply on its own.
Tips:
- Make sure to slice the flank steak against the grain to ensure it remains tender and not chewy.
- If you prefer a bit of a kick, you can add some sliced jalapenos or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dish.
- To get an even more smoky flavor, try grilling the steak before slicing it and adding it to the peppers and onions.
- For a lower-carb version, you can skip the cheddar cheese or use a reduced-fat variety.
