This Filetto al Pepe Verde was a recent find on TikTok via Chef Max Mariola’s account. There’s definitely more to Italian food than pasta and pasta fagioli. This steak and it’s simple accompanying sauce is something to wow your loved ones with. Feel free to pair it with some baked smashed potatoes and asparagus as I’ve done for this meal and wash it down with your favorite red wine.
