Ingredients:

  • 4 beef Sirloin Tip Center Steaks, cut 3/4 inch thick
  • 1/3 cup country Dijon-style mustard
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely ground mixed peppercorns
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 fresh mild green chile peppers such as Anaheim peppers

Safe Handling Tips:

  • Wash hands with soap and water before cooking and always after touching raw meat.

  • Separate raw meat from other foods.
  • Wash all cutting boards, utensils, and dishes after touching raw meat.
  • Do not reuse marinades used on raw foods.
  • Wash all produce prior to use.
  • Cook beef until temperature reaches 145°F for medium rare steaks and roasts 160°F for ground beef.
  • Refrigerate food promptly.

Cooking:

1. Combine mustard, peppercorns and cumin in small bowl. Remove and reserve 1/2 for brushing. Spread remaining mustard mixture on both sides of beef Sirloin Tip Center Steaks. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour.

2. Combine butter, cilantro and garlic in small bowl. Set aside.

3. Place steaks and peppers on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 8 to 9 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill 8 to 11 minutes) until steaks are medium rare (145°F) doneness and peppers are blackened, turning occasionally and brushing steaks with reserved mustard mixture during the last 4 minutes. (Do not overcook.)

4. Remove blackened peppers; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Remove skin, stems and seeds. Chop peppers and stir 1/2 into butter mixture. Top each steak with 1 teaspoon butter mixture. Sprinkle with remaining chopped peppers. Serve with remaining butter.
