Instructions

1. Marinate the Steak

1. Lay the steak pieces flat and lightly season them with salt and pepper.

3. Roll the Bundles

1. Lay each marinated steak slice flat.
2. Place a small handful of mixed peppers and 3–4 asparagus spears in the center.
3. Roll tightly and secure with a toothpick.

4. Seal

1. Heat a skillet on medium-high.
2. Add a little oil and sear each bundle on all sides until browned and cooked to your desired doneness (usually 2–3 minutes per side).
3. Remove and set aside.

5. Finish with Glaze

1. In the same pan, melt butter.
2. Add balsamic vinegar and honey.
3. Stir until glossy.
4. Spoon over the steak bundles for a gorgeous shine and flavor punch.
