Smoky Texas T-Bone Marinated in Adobo Sauce

Source of Recipe


Chef Jay Burgess






List of Ingredients



• 1 can chipotles in adobo sauce
  
• 2 green bell peppers, cut in 8 pieces
  
• 4 jalapeños, stems removed, cut in half
  
• 4 T-Bone steaks
  






Instructions



1. For the purée: Take one can of chipotles in adobo sauce, pour the contents into a blender, add 2 teaspoons water, and blend to a smooth consistency, adding more water if necessary.
   
   
2. Place T-Bone steaks in a plastic bag and add 2 tablespoons of the marinade for each steak you want to marinate. Allow the purée to cover the steaks, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
   
   
3. Preheat grill to a medium heat; grill steaks over direct heat for 7 to 10 minutes per side, to desired doneness. For the vegetables, in a lightly oiled grill pan or grill wok, place the peppers brushed with olive oil over direct heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Toss every few minutes to avoid charring. Serve steak with grilled peppers and Creamy Avocado Sauce (below).
