Notes

  • Extra Spicy? Add red pepper flakes or fresh sliced jalapeños.
  • Different Protein? Try chicken, shrimp, or even tofu for a variation.
  • Make it Vegetarian? Skip the steak and load up on bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach.
  • Want it smokier? Use grilled steak instead of pan-seared.
