Pico De Gallo (above)

 

 

Method:

1. ROAST PEPPERS: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).Cut the peppers into quarters. Remove the seeds and the membranes. Roast the peppers until the skin blisters and turns black. Remove from oven and cover with plastic, or a tea towel, or place in a paper bag until cool.
2. MARINADE:  Combine all ingredients in a mortar and pestle or food processor and make a paste, put your steak in a ziplock bag and refrigerate overnight or for 6 hours. No more than 8 hours!
3. PICO DE GALLO: Combine all ingredients, chopped, in a bowl and let stand for 15 mins or refrigerate for 1 hour.
4. COOK YOUR STEAK: Preheat BBQ or a ridged grill pan over medium-high.  Brush the grates with a little oil so that the meat doesn’t stick to your grill. Season your marinaded steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill the steak for 7 to 10 minutes per side, turning once, until medium-rare.(I prefer medium rare :):) Rest your steak on a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to settle. Slice the steak across the grain on a diagonal.
