Instructions



1. To prepare the relish: Roast the bell pepper on the grill and let steam. When cool, peel, seed and dice the pepper, and place in a mixing bowl. While the pepper is cooling, brush the corn with 2 tablespoons of the oil and grill over indirect medium heat for about 15 minutes, turning frequently, until lightly browned on all sides. Remove and, when cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cobs and add to the mixing bowl. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet and saute the onion over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until soft. Add the sauteed onions, sun-dried tomatoes, scallions, lime juice, vinegar and marjoram. Season with salt, and toss to combine.
   
   
2. Using the tip of a sharp paring knife, make incisions in the steaks about 1/2-inch deep. Insert the garlic and serrano slivers into the incisions, making sure they are embedded beneath the surface of the steaks. Season with salt and pepper, and bring the steaks to room temperature.
   
   
3. Grill over direct medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare; 7 to 8 minutes for medium; or to the desired doneness. Serve with the relish.
