(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Steak

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, stems trimmed
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. distilled white vinegar
  • 1 red bell pepper, charred, peeled, seeded and diced
  • 4 scallions, sliced
  • 2 serrano chiles, seeded and minced
  • Salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes to taste
  • 2 cedar planks, soaked
  • 4 rib-eye steaks, patted dry and seasoned with salt and black pepper

Directions

  1. Prepare a four burner gas grill, heating two center burners to low heat and two outer burners to medium-high heat to maintain a temp of 450-500.

  2. For the sauce, puree cilantro and garlic with oil and vinegar in a food processor.

  3. Combine bell pepper, scallions and serranos in a bowl.

  4. Stir in cilantro mixture. Season sauce with salt, black pepper and pepper flakes.

  5. For the steaks, arrange soaked planks on grill over outer burners until planks begin to smoke, 3-4 minutes. Flip planks and arrange over center burners.

  6. Cook steaks on planks, covered, until a thermometer reaches 125, about 20 minutes. Move steaks to outer burners and grill until marks appear, 1-2 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer steaks to a platter; let rest at least 5 minutes.

  7. Serve steaks with sauce.
