Jamaican Pepper Steak Recipe

Pepper Steak is a quick and easy dinner idea. I like to use sirloin steak, which will be nice and tender when used with this recipe. You can use one colour of bell pepper or a variety like I did. I also like it to have a bit of a kick but not too spicy. You can make it as spicy as you want. Just add more pepper sauce. Serve it on a bed of rice with a side salad and you’ll have a delicious meal.
