Description
Juicy seared beef paired with smoky grilled bell peppers and bright caper berries, finished with fresh parsley for a simple yet elegant Mediterranean-inspired dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450 grams) beef sirloin steak, trimmed
- 2 large red bell peppers, sliced into thick strips
- 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced into thick strips
- 1/3 cup caper berries, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat a heavy skillet or grill pan over medium high heat for about 5 minutes until very hot.
- Pat the beef dry and rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the hot pan and swirl to coat.
- Add the sliced bell peppers and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred. Remove and set aside.
- Place the beef in the same hot pan and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare, or cook to your preferred doneness.
- Remove the beef and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Arrange sliced beef on a plate with grilled peppers, scatter caper berries over the top, and finish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Let the beef come to room temperature before cooking for even searing.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure a proper crust.
- Adjust salt carefully since caper berries add natural brininess.
