It has potential, but too bland as is.

This was excellent, and I'm a novice cook. It had a good, rich flavor. I used Merlot rather than Sherry though. I also added some red pepper flakes.

I could not believe how well this turned out. I used ribeye steaks and trimmed all the significant fat. I also chopped the onions versus slicing them and my partner who is VERY picky absolutely loved this dish. I'll be saving this as a go-to weeknight meal. We also preferred it over steamed white rice as the pilaf was a little too many flavors with the pepper steak.
