Instructions
Mix garlic and lime juice; set aside 3 Tbs. of mixture for a post-grill marinade. For dressing, add a generous pinch of salt and pepper to the remaining lime juice mixture and slowly whisk in oil; set aside.
Mix cumin, salt and pepper in a small dish. Rub steaks on both sides with oil, and season with cumin mixture.
Brush peppers with oil, then season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine onion with vinegar and a pinch of salt. Set all aside.
Build a fire on only one side of grill (to conserve charcoal). When coals are covered with white ash, place steak and peppers on rack over direct heat, cover and grill until steaks are well seared, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium to medium-rare meat.
Transfer steaks to plate and immediately drizzle with reserved lime mixture.
Transfer peppers to a cutting board, and cut each quarter in thirds to get 24 pieces of pepper.
Let sit 5 minutes or up to 1 hour. Thinly slice steak across grain. Toss greens with dressing. Arrange in six shallow bowls. Top with steak, peppers, pickled onions and a dollop of sour cream.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Steak works really well 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 Yangarran Estate Appellation Series Merlot with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.

Yangarra Estate Appellation Series Merlot
"Young and vibrant now, with a great burst of fresh acidity, but with scads of fruit. Explodes on the palate with waves of sweet cherry, blackberry and plum flavors. Tannins are thick and fancy. This is an ager but it would be a shame to miss the youthful vivacity."-Wine EnthusiastDeep aromas of ripe plum and wild berry are distinguished by hints of spicy nutmeg in this lovely wine. On the palate, there is plenty of sweet black fruit, subtly layered with complex spice and toasty oak. Rich and luscious, the wine finishes with an elegant impression of soft tannins and long-lasting flavor.
