📝 Ingredients

For the Steak

  • 4 beef tenderloin medallions (or sirloin steaks), about 5–6 oz (140–170g) each
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

For the Sweet Peppers

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced 🫑
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced 🫑
  • 1 orange bell pepper, diced 🫑
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp butter

For the Sauce

  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey or brown sugar (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp cold water (optional, for a thicker sauce)

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped 🌿

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Season the Steak

  • Pat the steaks dry.
  • Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

2. Sear the Steak

  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Cook the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your preferred doneness.
  • Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil to rest.

3. Cook the Vegetables

  • In the same skillet, melt the butter.
  • Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the bell peppers and cook for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  • Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

4. Make the Sauce

  • Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and honey (if using).
  • Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until slightly thickened.

5. Finish the Dish

  • Return the steaks to the skillet for 1–2 minutes, spooning the sauce over them.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

Serve with:

  • Creamy mashed potatoes 🥔
  • Buttered rice 🍚
  • Roasted potatoes
  • Garlic bread 🥖
  • Steamed green beans or asparagus

💡 Tips

  • Let the steaks rest for 5–10 minutes before serving to keep them juicy.
  • Use a cast-iron skillet for an excellent sear.
  • For a spicy variation, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
  • A splash of balsamic vinegar at the end adds a delicious depth of flavor.
