Steaks with Charred Pepper Relish

Ingredients

  • 1 (12 oz) bag mini sweet peppers
  • 4 oz Deli pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1 ½ lb boneless grilling steaks (such as New York strip, ribeye, or tenderloin)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon barbecue seasoning

Steps

    1. Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium-high. Cut peppers in half lengthwise and remove stems and membranes. Cut cheese into 4 (½-inch-thick) slices.
    2. Coat steaks with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with seasoning. Place steaks and peppers on grill; grill 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until peppers are tender and charred and steaks are 125°F (for medium rare; warm red center), 130°F (for medium; warm pink center), or up to 170°F (for well done). Transfer steaks to cutting board and let stand 5–10 minutes before slicing; temperature will rise 5–10°F during this time.
    3. Grill cheese slices 1–2 minutes on each side. Remove burned bits from peppers if desired. Chop peppers and cheese into bite-size pieces; combine with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Top steaks with relish. Serve.
    Note: The doneness temperatures for medium rare and medium stated above are traditional temperatures used for cooking steak, but are not recommended by the USDA. To maintain food safety, the USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F, as measured using a food thermometer, with a 3-minute rest time before carving.

Cornbread Salad

Ingredients

  • 6 slices precooked bacon
  • 2 ears fresh yellow corn
  • 1 cup fresh prediced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup presliced green onions
  • ⅓ cup Asiago peppercorn dressing
  • 4 regular (or 3 jumbo) Bakery corn muffins

Steps

    1. Microwave bacon following package instructions; chop and place in medium bowl. Remove corn from cob.
    2. Add remaining ingredients (except corn muffins) to bacon, stir until blended.
    3. Break corn muffins into large chunks (be careful not to crumble into small pieces); fold into bacon mixture. Serve.

Serving Suggestions

  • Complete your meal with a green salad including apples and walnuts, garlic bread, and coconut cream pie for dessert.
  • The Cornbread Salad is better when made with day-old corn muffins. Toast chunks of corn muffins in oven at 350°F for 5 minutes to dry them out.
