Ingredients

• 1 bunch fresh cilantro, stems trimmed
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp. distilled white vinegar
• 1 red bell pepper, charred, peeled, seeded and diced
• 4 scallions, sliced
• 2 serrano chiles, seeded and minced
• Salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes to taste
• 2 cedar planks, soaked
• 4 rib-eye steaks, patted dry and seasoned with salt and black pepper

Directions

1. Prepare a four burner gas grill, heating two center burners to low heat and two outer burners to medium-high heat to maintain a temp of 450-500.

2. For the sauce, puree cilantro and garlic with oil and vinegar in a food processor.

3. Combine bell pepper, scallions and serranos in a bowl.

4. Stir in cilantro mixture. Season sauce with salt, black pepper and pepper flakes.

5. For the steaks, arrange soaked planks on grill over outer burners until planks begin to smoke, 3-4 minutes. Flip planks and arrange over center burners.

6. Cook steaks on planks, covered, until a thermometer reaches 125, about 20 minutes. Move steaks to outer burners and grill until marks appear, 1-2 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer steaks to a platter; let rest at least 5 minutes.

7. Serve steaks with sauce.
