Oven Baked Steak with Peppers and Onions

Perfectly seasoned steaks topped with spicy peppers and onions. A delicious wintertime meal.

A little tip about cooking with hot peppers: because hot chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid contact with chiles as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the chile peppers, wash your hands well with soap and water.

Enjoy!
