3) Put the red and green peppers and red onion. Put desired amount of sauce.
4) Reduce heat and simmer until meat is cooked to taste. Add salt & pepper to taste.
5) Create a salad base: of Mesclun greens, cucumbers and julienned carrots.
6) Put steak cubes and peppers on top of the salad. Do not use the hot sauce from the pan. If you need more salad dressing, add cold teriyaki.
