Grilled Steak & Peppers With Long Grain & Wild Rice

By Tabitha Klausen If you ever hear me say I don't want grilled steak or red meat, get me to a doctor! Haha I don't eat red meat everyday, but I definitely love it! This is one of my weekly go-to recipes for my boyfriend and I! I will double the recipe and make enough for work lunches the next couple days. Grilling the meat first instead of cooking it in the pan gives it a wonderful texture and flavor. Try it for yourself and enjoy! You will need:

• 1lb thinly sliced lean steak strips
• 3 large peppers, any color
• long grain and wild rice
• onion powder
• garlic powder
• salt
• balsamic vinegar
• EVOO

Chop up 3 large peppers. Can be yellow, green or red. Toss in pan with 1 tablespoon EVOO. Cook on medium for about 10 mins, or until soft. Cook 1lb lean steak strips (about 1 inch wide, 1/2 inch thick) on grill or foreman grill 2mins on each side, or 4 mins total (this will be well done) Combine steak and peppers in pan, heat on low. Add garlic pepper, onion powder, salt and pepper to taste. Also add 2-3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and reduce down. I cook the long grain and wild rice in the rice cooker to save time and start this before I start prepping and cooking. I add salt to taste, or stir in with the steak and peppers! Enjoy!!
