- Hot cherry peppers — If you prefer a spicier kick, include hot cherry peppers in the sautéed peppers mixture.
Tips & Tricks
- For added flavor, marinate the steak in your favorite steak marinade for a few hours before cooking.
- If you prefer a milder heat, remove the seeds from the hot cherry peppers before slicing.
