3The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Rub the red pepper halves with olive oil, and place them on the cool side of the grate. Cook until the skins are blackened, about 8–10 minutes.
Cover and let the peppers rest for at least 10 minutes, then scrape off and discard the skins, and cut the peppers into thin strips.
Warm any remaining olive oil in a pan over the cooler side of the grate. Add the garlic and peppers, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have come together, then set aside.
Place steaks on the grill, directly over the coals, and cook for about 5–7 minutes per side for medium rare/medium — when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F on a digital meat thermometer.
Remove the steaks from the heat. Cut the steaks off along the bone, and then cut them into thin strips.
Finish with coarse sea salt and serve with the red peppers.
