Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar
  • kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/2 pound sirloin steak, about 1 1/4 inches thick
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon drained capers
  • 1 teaspoon chopped sage
  • 8 piquillo peppers (spanish roasted peppers), seeded and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
Directions
  1. In a bowl, mix the paprika, brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Pat the mixture all over the meat.
  2. In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over moderate heat. Add the garlic, shallots, and capers and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the sage and cook for 1 minute. Add the piquillos, mustard, and Worcestershire; simmer over moderate heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile, light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Grill the steak over moderately high heat for about 12 minutes, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 130 degrees for medium-rare meat. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve with the piquillo-pepper sauce.
