Beef with Pepper & Onions

Anybody else love steak, but hate paying the price? I know I do! Flank steak is the way to go. To get the most out of your meals, I’ve thrown together this flank steak beef with  peppers and onions. You can toss it in a almond flour tortilla or throw on top of salad or cauliflower rice. I get asked all the time if my beef comes out to be chew and tough? The answer is NO!

The one thing I will say that is so important to have (but not necessary) is the cast iron skillet. When I took some classes on how to cook meat in my cast iron skillet, it changed how we felt about our meat. This creates the perfect dinner idea!

Cooking meet in a Cast Iron

1. Make sure to add oil to your skillet. This may be a no brainer, but still a very important step we don’t want to skip. I use avocado oil in my skillet.
2. Make sure your oil is very hot before you add anything to it.
3. Place your meat in the pan and turn to medium high heat. Leave the meat in place until it starts to stick to the skillet. When it becomes stuck to the skillet you can then flip the meat, leaving the outside with a nice and crisp.
4. Make sure not to cook the meat to well done. I’m a total foodie and taste my food a ton during the cooking process. I like to pull mine off the skillet when there is still a little pink in the middle

Can you use other meat in this dish?

Absolutely! We love to mix this dish with shrimp or chicken! Whatever meat you choose, you won’t be disappointed. I understand now why they continues to encourage the use of the cast iron skillet all these years. You won’t enjoy flavor anywhere else, like you do the cast iron.
