This recipe is based wholly on a meal from the Anime Cowboy Beebop.  In the show they always joked about a meal called Bell Peppers and Beef.  So I decided I was going to make the meal.  They never really said what was in it (because it is a cartoon not at all about cooking) but you could see bell peppers and onions.  So I just ran with it.

Ingredients:
1.5 lb New york strip steak soaked in salsa and teriyaki over night and then cubed and diced
1/2 of a white onion (Julianne)
1/2 green bell pepper (sliced)
1/2 red bell pepper (sliced)
1/4 yellow bell pepper (sliced)
1 Red New Mexican chili (diced)
3 tbsp fresh basil (diced)
kosher salt
fresh crack pepper
red pepper flakes optional
4 tbsp butter
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil.
2 servings of rice cooked by package instructions

Cook steak in sauce pan for 3-4 minutes at med heat and remove.  turn heat to med low add oil, butter and red chili and cook for 3-4 min, add veggies and turn to medium, cook for 15 minutes or until onions are caramelizing. add basil and steak and heat through for 1-2 minutes.

Serve over white rice mixed with 2 tbsp volcanic lemon juice, 1/2 tsp ground ginger and all juices from steak and veggies in rice.
