I used 1 1/2 lb sirloin and even with using more meat than the recipe required, I still felt as though the recipe calls for way too much pepper and onion. I used about half an onion and only one bell pepper. I would also use a little less salsa and marinade next time, I felt that there was just too much sauce. Other than those little things though, it was definitely a great meal.

This is one of our favorites. I tried it with chicken instead of steak because that's what we had on hand and it was just as yummy. The only thing is that it was juicier...therefore messy. But if you drain the meat/veggies before adding the marinade that will help.

You could marinade the steak beforehand and cook it on the grill or you could use cast iron for the grill to prepare the recipe like it says. I cooked everything on the grill which gave it good flavor. My family enjoyed the meal.
