2.50 red peppers
410g
2 onions
220g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g
1 cup cheddar cheese
110g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
- Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain.
- Slice the red peppers into thin strips.
- Thinly slice the onions.
2. Heat the Pan:
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Steak:
- 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.
4. Sauté the Vegetables:
- 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.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- 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.
6. Add the Cheese:
- 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.
7. Serve:
- 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.

- Serve the sautéed flank steak and peppers with warm tortillas or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.
