Spicy Paleo Steak Recipe- Great for Camping!

This spicy paleo steak recipe made with pepperoncini (also known as frigitello) peppers is a great option for those wanting to eat a paleo diet while traveling or even camping!

Growing up, my mom made the best pepperoncini (frigitello) beef recipe. It was one of those meals that everyone in the family loved. My mom would throw the peppers and roast in the crock pot before I headed out for school. And, when I got home, the whole house smelled of the pepperoncini peppers. Yum!

Also known as frigitello peppers, pepperoncini peppers have a bit of a kick (but not too much!) and quickly become the star of the show in any recipe. They also pair very nicely with beef.

But I wanted a pepperoncini beef dish that didn’t take several hours to make and could be made almost anywhere while traveling… a rental cottage by the water, an extended stay hotel room in a ritzy city, or over a campfire in the woods.

Quick, Healthy, Spicy Paleo Steak Recipe

Similar to our Paleo Dairy-free, Creamy Italian Chicken and Squash recipe and our Paleo Orange Beef recipe, this paleo, gluten-free, diary-free pepperoncini/frigitello pepper recipe is perfect for a quick dinner at home or even a meal over the campfire while sleeping under the stars.

It is great over rice, cauliflower rice, salad greens, in a corn or flour tortilla (depending on your dietary restrictions), or even eaten by itself.

Spicy Paleo Steak Recipe Ingredients:

Steak, Salt, and Olive Oil

The steak is the protein of the dish. Though I’ve not tried it, you could try using another type of beef or even chicken in this dish.

Bell Peppers and Onion

Veggies provide great nutrients and fiber. I love adding them to any meat dish. They turn a dish into a full dinner!

Pepperoncinis/Frigitello Peppers, Garlic, Coconut Aminos (or Soy Sauce, depending on your diet), Vinegar, Green Onion, and Lime

These are the stars of the show! They bring a punch to the dish and turn boring steak and veggies into a flavorful, delicious dinner!

Coconut aminos is a great soy-free, gluten-free, Paleo alternative. It can be found in the international section of most grocery stores. If you are not following a Paleo diet or trying to avoid soy and gluten, you are welcome to use soy sauce.

  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced

*If you choose to use garlic powder instead of cloves, it can be added with the salt at the beginning of the recipe.
*Pepperoncini/ Frigitello peppers don’t give off much heat, but if you’d rather not eat them, you may try keeping them whole while cooking and then pulling them out before eating. Or, if you love the heat, feel free to add more!
