Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle both sides of beef steaks with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; press firmly into beef. Remove seeds from bell pepper, leaving pepper whole.

Place steaks and bell pepper on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill steaks, uncovered, 15 to 18 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally. Grill pepper 2 to 3 minutes, turning occasionally.

While steaks continue to cook, cut four 1/2-inch thick rings from bell pepper; set aside for garnish. Coarsely chop enough remaining pepper to make 1/4 cup; combine with salsa ingredients in small saucepan. Place pan on grid near edge of grill to heat until warm.

About 5 minutes before steaks are done, remove 2 tablespoons salsa from saucepan and brush on both sides of steaks. To serve, place 1 pepper ring on each steak; fill rings with warm salsa.
