- Prep Ingredients in Advance: Chop your onions and bell peppers ahead of time to streamline the cooking process and make everything more manageable.
- Don't Overcook the Peppers: Cook the bell peppers until they are tender-crisp to retain their vibrant color and slight crunch.
- Season Well: Season your steak generously with salt and black pepper before cooking to enhance the flavors of the meat.
- Adjust Rice Quantity: Feel free to adjust the quantity of rice based on your preference. You can also use brown rice for a healthier alternative.
- Add Fresh Herbs: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or basil just before serving.
- Save Time with Canned Tomatoes: Using canned tomatoes helps save time, but make sure to choose high-quality canned tomatoes for the best taste.
