  With a rolling pin, roll the meat out into an 8 by 5 inch rectangle between sheets of wax paper. Distribute the remaining onion/pepper mixture lengthwise down the center of the meat.

  When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill and set the temperature to 350F. Preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.
