Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Sear the steak

Heat the broiler, if using to char the peppers.
  • Cut a small corner from the steak packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper, and the coriander.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the steak and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned but not yet cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add more oil between batches if needed. Do not clean the pan.
While the steak cooks, prepare the onion and beans.

2

Make the steak-bean filling

  • Peel and coarsely chop enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
  • Rinse the pinto beans.
In the same pan used for the steak, if dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the beans and tomatoes and cook until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the steak and any accumulated juices and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes for medium. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the steak-bean filling cooks, prepare the cilantro and peppers.

3

Prep the cilantro; char and stuff the peppers

  • Coarsely chop the cilantro for garnish.
On the stovetop directly over a flame, or on a sheet pan under the broiler, roast the bell peppers, turning frequently, until blistered and charred all over, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly. Scrape off the charred skin, if desired; cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the ribs and seeds. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Stuff the peppers with the steak-bean filling.

Serve

Spread 2 tablespoons romesco onto each individual plate, top with the stuffed peppers, and garnish with the cilantro. Serve the remaining romesco on the side.
