Ingredients
- 1½ lbs shaved steak (ribeye, sirloin, or ground beef also work)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers, sliced (any color)

Directions
- Brown the Meat (Optional Step) In a skillet over medium-high heat, quickly cook the shaved steak or ground beef until just browned. Remove from heat and drain any excess grease.
