Cut red and yellow bell peppers into ¼-inch strips. While steaks cook, heat olive oil in skillet and saute garlic 30 seconds. Add anchovy, then red and yellow peppers and saute until peppers are soft. When steaks are done, melt butter in saucepan over medium heat until foamy. Add basil and cook 30 seconds. Remove from heat.

Place red and yellow bell peppers beside steak slices. Yields 4 servings.
