The first time I had "Pepper Steak" was on my trip to Tanzania and
Zanzibar. We were preparing for our climb up Mount Kilimanjaro -
loading up with protein. From that moment my husband and I were in
love with this delectable dish. During our trip we found Pepper Steak
to be Tanzania's unofficial national dish, they serve it everywhere.
With piles of pepper. This is my personal take on bringing a little
bit of Tanzania to our home kitchen.

SERVES 2

INGREDIENTS

2 good quality beef steaks
1 tsp of olive oil
1 tbsp of black pepper sauce or freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp of olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 Jalapenos pepper, thinly sliced
1 tsp of black pepper sauce or freshly ground black pepper
½ cup white wine


Rub dry streaks with olive oil and apply the black pepper sauce to the
sides of the steak meat. Leave for at least 30 minutes to marinate.

Before you grill the steaks, take them out of the fridge and bring the
steaks to room temperature.

Heat your grilling pan to medium-low, place steaks on the pan and turn
only once. Depending on the thickness of steaks and how you like
steaks done it will take between 4-7 minutes per side. When almost
done, take the meat of the pan, put it on a plate and cover with
aluminum foil. Let them rest for 5-7 minutes. Take this time to make
the sauce.

To the juices in the pan add olive oil, and garlic with onion. Sauté
for 30 seconds. Add the bell and Jalapenos pepper as well as the black
pepper sauce. Sauté on medium heat stirring constantly for 4 minutes.

Take the pan of the heat and cautiously add the wine. Bring the pan
back to the burner and cook it for 30 seconds.

Place steaks on serving plates, if there is any other juice on the
dish where the steaks were resting, incorporate that liquid to the
pepper sauce. Spoon the pepper sauce over the steaks and serve.
