Make sure the cast-iron skillet is hot before adding the steaks so that they get a nicely browned crust on both sides. We like both red and orange peppers, though just one color will work.

We grilled the steaks. The chile butter was perfect on top and really brought out the smokey quality to the grilled meat. The sauteed peppers and onion was a nice side. Would make again.

I used petite thin sirloin for this recipe as that is what I had on hand. I pretty much followed according to recipe except I had a few fresh mushroom and added them into the sauté. I used Trader Joes 3 min brown rice. Recipe came together super easy and we loved the flavor.

The chipotle butter had the perfect amount of kick -- not too spicy. I doubled the entire butter recipe thinking it wouldn't be enough butter for the entire steak but it would have been fine without doubling it! Also the veggies were great too! Highly recommended!

This recipe is really delicious without a lot of effort or time. I loved it paired with Cooking Light's recipe for Cilantro-Cumin Couscous too. For step-by-step photos of the recipe, visit: http://www.icancookthat.org/2015/09/beef-tenderloin-steaks-with-chipotle-butter-and-bell-pepper-saute.html
