Instructions
Heat an outdoor grill to high (about 450°F to 550°F). Season the steak generously with salt and pepper and place it in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
Place the remaining measured ingredients in a blender and blend until evenly combined, about 30 seconds.
Remove 3 tablespoons of the marinade and set it aside for the relish.
Place the bell peppers on the grill. Cover the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the peppers are blackened and blistered on all sides, about 25 minutes.
Remove the steak from the baking dish and let any excess marinade drip off; discard the marinade.
Place the steak on the grill and season it generously with salt and pepper. Cover the grill and cook until grill marks appear on the bottom, about 5 to 6 minutes.Flip the steak and season generously with salt and pepper. Cover the grill and continue to cook until grill marks appear on the bottom and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the steak registers 125°F to 130°F for medium rare, about 5 to 6 minutes more.
Transfer the peppers from the bowl to a cutting board. Set the bowl aside, reserving any liquid inside. Use a knife to scrape and peel the skins off; discard the skins. Slice the peppers open and remove the seeds and membranes.
Cut the peppers into medium dice and return them to the large bowl.
Add the remaining measured ingredients and the reserved marinade and stir until evenly combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.Thinly slice the steak against the grain, season it with salt and pepper, and serve with the bell pepper relish.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Steak can be paired with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The Goldschmidt Vineyard Alexander Valley Chelsea Merlot with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.
Goldschmidt Vineyard Alexander Valley Chelsea Merlot
Beautiful red raspberry, black cherry, and spice aromas. Full and round with plum, red currant, blackberry, and bay leaf flavors. The soft tannins give this wine a velvety smoothness and the chocolatey finish just goes on and on.
