Heat the skillet, over med-high heat, and drizzle olive oil. Add the veggies and let cook for a few minutes until they are cooked but slightly firm. Remove from heat and place on a dish to set aside.

In the same skillet, over med-high heat, add the meat and let cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until medium rare. Remove and allow to rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes.
