Peppered Steak

This recipe came off Melissa's Bargain Blog and we all LOVED it! Her website is full of great information and one of her newest features is Menu Monday (on which she posts her menu based on her $40/week grocery budget). Check it out! I've been trying to learn from her for quite a few months now (I'm obviously a slow learner) and it's really paying off with our monthly budget!
