Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium
saucepan over high heat. Add the onion and
cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic
and cook for 1minute. Add the tomatoes, red
peppers, and anchos and cook until the
tomatoes soften and break down and the
liquid thickens, 20 to 30 minutes.
Carefully transfer the mixture to a food
processor and process until smooth. Add the
vinegar, honey, and chopped cilantro, season
with salt and freshly ground black pepper,
and pulse a few times just to combine.
Season the steaks on
both sides with salt. Season one side of each
filet with the cracked black pepper, pressing
it in to adhere to the steak. Place the filets on a hot BBQ, pepper side down, and cook until for 2-3 minutes. Turn the steaks over and
continue cooking to medium-rare, 3 to
4 minutes more.
Remove to a baking sheet.
Top each filet with a slice of goat cheese
and place under the broiler. Broil until the
cheese becomes bubbly and turns golden
brown, about 2 minutes.
Ladle some of the sauce onto large dinner
plates, top with the steaks, and scatter some
of the pine nuts around the plates. |
