Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound Laura’s Lean New York Strip Steaks
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 roma tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 (8-ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
2/3 cup red wine or beef broth
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
Directions
1. Sprinkle salt and pepper over steak and rub with 1 tablespoon
olive oil. Cook steak in a lightly greased skillet over high heat
and brown on both sides about 5 minutes. Remove and cover with foil.
2. Sauté peppers, onion and garlic in remaining olive oil over
medium heat 5 minutes or until tender. Add tomatoes, mushrooms, wine
and red pepper and bring to a boil; simmer 5 minutes. Add steaks and
cook 5 more minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Stir in
basil and serve immediately.

Cooking Tip: Sauteing the vegetables will add an enormous amount of
flavor. It is very important to make sure that the pan and olive oil
are hot before adding the vegetables. The vegetables should make a
sizzling sound when they hit the pan.
