Makes: 2 - 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 - 24 oz ribeye steak, 2" thick
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 oz shishito peppers, rinsed
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger or ginger paste
  • 1 - 2 red Thai chilies, minced
  • 1/2 cup diced orange segments
  • 1 small shallot, finely minced
  • 3 tablespoons minced cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • kosher salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  • Season the steak. A few hours before you plan to cook, season the steak all over with kosher salt and pepper. Lay the steak on a plate and leave it uncovered in the fridge for up to 8 hours.
  • Bring the steak to room temperature. An hour before you plan to cook, pull the steak out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature.
  • Prep the grill. Before using your grill, make sure to clean the grates of any food and debris. Lightly grease the grates with nonstick spray. Preheat an outdoor grill where one side is medium-high heat and the other side is low heat. Close the lid and wait until the temperature reaches 450 F.
  • Grill the steak. Place the steak on the hot side of the grill and grill 4-5 minutes per side, until browned with grill marks. Transfer to the cool side of the grill until the internal temperature reaches 130 F. Remove from the grill and let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Grill the peppers. Toss the shishito peppers with 1 tablespoon of oil, salt, and pepper and grill for 6-7 minutes, until blistered. Remove from the grill and once they're cool, remove the stems and finely chop.
  • Make the salsa. Mix together the remaining ingredients for the salsa and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over the grilled ribeye steak.
