Equipment
- Skillet Large enough to hold all ingredients.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 count green bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 count red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 count large white onion, sliced into half-moons
- 12 ounces beef sausage links, sliced on a bias into rounds
- 8 cloves garlic, finely minced or 1 tablespoon jarred minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning or herbs de Provence
- to taste Kosher salt & fresh ground black pepper
- to taste Steamed white rice or rice of choice, for serving optional
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. This combination not only adds flavor but also helps to prevent sticking.
- Add the sliced green and red bell peppers along with the onion. Sauté for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized. Keep an eye on them; if they start to brown too quickly, reduce the heat.
- Stir in the sliced beef sausage and mix well with the peppers and onions. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the sausage is golden brown and heated through.
- Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning (or herbs de Provence), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the flavors meld beautifully.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately over steamed rice, if desired. Enjoy your delicious meal!
Notes
For a spicier kick, consider adding some crushed red pepper flakes. You can also add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
