3 English cucumbers

1.02 kg flank steaks

3 cloves garlic

1 small bunch Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

3 jalapeño peppers

1 ½ lemons

3 red bell peppers

balsamic vinegar

black pepper

Dijon mustard

dill, dried

extra virgin olive oil

mayonnaise

oregano, dried

salt

Instructions

Peel and mince garlic. Place in a large bowl along with oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper, then whisk to combine the marinade.

Pat steak dry with paper towels. Add to the bowl with the marinade and turn to coat. Set aside to marinate, 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce.

Halve jalapeño peppers lengthwise; seed and remove ribs with a spoon to reduce spice level. Place in another large bowl. (Be careful with jalapeños; do not touch your eyes and ensure you wash your hands after handling or wear gloves while preparing.)

Preheat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium-high heat.

While the pan heats up, trim, seed, and quarter bell peppers lengthwise. Add to the bowl with the jalapeño along with oil, salt, and pepper, then toss to coat.

Once the pan is hot, working in batches if necessary, add peppers and grill until charred, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly. (Reserve pan for later use and bowl for the next step.)

Meanwhile, juice lemons into the reserved bowl. Add mayo, Dijon, and spices, then whisk to combine the dressing.

Trim and slice cucumbers crosswise into thin rounds. Add to the bowl with the dressing, stir to combine, and set aside.

When the steak is done marinating, return the pan to medium-high heat.

Once the pan is hot, working in batches if necessary, add steak and grill until desired doneness, 2-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean plate and set aside to rest, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, shave parsley leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Place in a medium bowl.

Small dice cooled peppers. Add to the bowl with the parsley along with oil, vinegar, and spices. Stir to combine the pepper relish.

Thinly slice steak against the grain.

To serve, divide cucumber salad and steak between plates or bowls. Top steak with pepper relish and enjoy!
