Ingredients:

• 4 beef flat iron steaks (8 oz each)
• 3 large red bell peppers, cut lengthwise into quarters
• 2 tbsp prepared minced roasted garlic, divided
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• Salt
• 1 cup grape tomatoes
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
• 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
• 1 tbsp freshly grated orange peel
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Fresh cilantro sprigs, orange slices, and pine nuts (optional)

Safe Handling Tips:

• Wash hands with soap and water before cooking and always after touching raw meat.

• Separate raw meat from other foods.
• Wash all cutting boards, utensils, and dishes after touching raw meat.
• Do not reuse marinades used on raw foods.
• Wash all produce prior to use.
• Cook beef until temperature reaches 145°F for medium rare steaks and roasts 160°F for ground beef.
• Refrigerate food promptly.

Cooking:

1. Arrange bell peppers skin side up on large sheet of aluminum foil. Place on broiler rack so surface of peppers is 3 to 4 inches from heat. Broil 12 to 15 minutes or until skin is blackened. Fold aluminum foil over peppers to enclose. Let stand 5 minutes.

2. Meanwhile combine 1 tablespoon garlic and black pepper in small bowl; press evenly onto beef steaks. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in ridged grill pan or large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Place steaks in skillet; cook 11 to 14 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally. Remove to serving platter; season with salt, as desired. Keep warm.

3. Remove and discard blackened skins from peppers. Place peppers, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in blender or food processor container. Add tomatoes, cilantro, pine nuts, orange juice and orange peel. Cover; pulse on and off until pureed.

4. Spoon some sauce over steaks; serve remaining sauce with steaks. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, orange slices and pine nuts, if desired.
