pepper steak w/mango, avocado & jalapeno vinaigrette

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut 3/4 inch thick (about 8 oz each)
  • 3 jalapeno peppers
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 8 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 mango, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1/2 small avocado, cut lengthwise into 8 slices
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 shallot, very thinly sliced and separated into rings
  • DRESSING
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon coarsly chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/4 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

  1. Place jalapeño peppers on grid over medium, ash-covered goals. Grill, uncovered, 11 to 13 minutes or until evenly blistered and blackened. Place in food-safe plastic bag; close bag. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes until skins are loosened.
  2. Press black pepper evenly onto beef steaks. Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 7 to 10 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, times remain the same) for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally. Remove from grill; let stand while preparing vinaigrette.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare Jalapeño Vinaigrette. Remove and discard skins, seeds and membranes from jalapeño peppers. Place peppers, lime juice, cilantro, water and salt in food processor container. Cover; pulse on and off until combined. With motor running, slowly add oil through opening in cover, processing until well blended.
  4. Arrange salad greens on serving platter. Fan the mango and avocado slices over greens. Carve steaks into slices; season with salt, as desired. Arrange over salad. Top with shallot; drizzle with vinaigrette. Sprinkle with cheese.
