Instructions:
-
Marinate the Steak:
- In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, finely chopped onion, minced garlic cloves, chopped cilantro, 2 teaspoons of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and salt to taste. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small saucepan, mix the jelly with finely diced jalapenos and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the jelly has melted and the mixture is well combined. Set aside.
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Cook the Steak:
- Remove the marinated steak from the fridge and pat it dry with paper towels to remove any excess marinade.
- Place the steak on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Brush the steak generously with the jalapeno glaze, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Cook the steak in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For a medium-rare steak, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (55°C). Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the steak, so be sure to check it regularly.
-
Prepare the Bell Pepper Salsa:
- While the steak is cooking, prepare the bell pepper salsa. Finely dice the green peppers, red onion, mangoes, and remaining jalapenos. Chop the remaining cilantro and mince the additional garlic cloves.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the diced vegetables and fruits with the remaining black pepper, cayenne pepper, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Cover the salsa and let it stand at room temperature for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the steak is cooked to your liking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- To serve, slice the steak against the grain at a 45-degree angle to ensure tenderness. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and top generously with the prepared bell pepper salsa.
- For appetizers, serve the glazed steak in wraps or on sliced focaccia bread, topped with melted jack cheese.
- For a refreshing salad, place the sliced steak on a bed of your favorite greens and spoon the bell pepper salsa over the top.
- As a main course, pair the glazed steak with sautéed shrimp over fluffy basmati rice for a truly satisfying meal.
