This recipe belongs to the chef Ivan Slinko, who worked for many years in the legendary Odessa steakhouse. The whole city knew: Ivan knows his meat. The butchers at the bazaars knew Ivan by sight and offered him only the best. And in the restaurant menu, instead of the usual description of the dishes, there was an intriguing inscription: “Today Ivan is frying …”. So, who knows better what sauce is ideal for meat, if not Ivan?

My tips and tricks:
A little tip on how to peel baked peppers easily. Once you take the pepper out of the oven, wrap it in foil so that there are no open areas. Leave it for 10 minutes. During this time, the pepper will cool down and you can take it with your hands. The peel comes off without the slightest effort.
