How to make Grilled steak and mixed peppers

  1. Season the steaks on all sides with 10 g of kosher salt and 10 g of pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 1 hour.

  2. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat and oil the grate. Grill the steaks until lightly charred, cooking for 6–8 minutes on each side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 50 °C for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

  3. Meanwhile, grill the sweet peppers, turning often, until they are lightly charred and softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter and cover with foil.

  4. Grill the shishito peppers, turning often, until they are lightly charred and softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the platter with the sweet peppers and cover with foil. Let them rest for 10 minutes.

  5. Drizzle the grilled peppers with 30 ml of oil, then season with 2.5 g of kosher salt and 1.5 g of pepper, tossing to combine.

  6. Transfer the sliced steak to the platter alongside the peppers. Drizzle with oil, then season with sea salt and pepper.
