Recipe Ingredients:

3 large red bell peppers, cut lengthwise into quarters
2 tablespoons prepared roasted garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 to 8 ounces shoulder top blade steak (flat iron) beef steak
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt
1 cup grape tomatoes
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon orange peel

Optional Garnishes: Cilantro sprigs, orange slices, pine nuts

Cooking Directions:

  1. Arrange bell peppers skin side up on large sheet of aluminum foil. Place on broiler rack so surface of peppers is 3 to 4-inch from heat. Broil 12 to 15 minutes or until skin is blackened. Fold aluminum foil over peppers to enclose. Let stand 5 minutes
  2. Meanwhile, combine 1 tablespoon garlic and black pepper in small bowl; press evenly onto beef steaks. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in ridged grill pan or large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Place steaks in skillet; cook 13 to 15 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning twice. Remove to serving platter; season with salt, as desired. Keep warm.
  3. Remove and discard blackened skins from peppers. Place peppers, remaining 2 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in blender or food processor container. Add tomatoes, cilantro, pine nuts, orange juice and orange peel. Cover; pulse on and off until puréed.
  4. Spoon some sauce over steaks; serve remaining sauce with steaks. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, orange slices and pine nuts, if desired.

Makes 4 servings.

Tip: Four boneless beef top loin steaks, cut 3/4-inch thick, (about 8 ounces each) may be substituted for the beef top blade steaks (flat iron). Cook 10 to 12 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning once.
