Ingredients
| 2 medium Red bell peppers |
| 1/2 Tbsp., whole Fennel seed |
| 1/2 tsp., leaves Dried oregano |
| 1/2 tsp.. Ground cumin |
| 2 tsp. Paprika |
| 1/4 tsp. Salt |
| 1 to taste Black pepper |
| 1 tsp. Olive oil |
| 8 ounces Skirt steak (2 4-ounce steaks)(or hanger steak or flap steak) |
| 1/4 Cup Beer (or gluten-free beer) |
| 1 tsp.. Unsalted butter |
Instructions
Place the peppers on a piece of foil in the oven. Roast for about 40 minutes. Turn every 10 minutes and they are done when the skin is browned but not blackened. The skin should have a puckered look to it.
Remove the peppers from the oven and place in a paper bag. After about 15 minutes tear open the bag and the outer skin will slip off.
Seed and core the peppers and set them aside, each on its own plate. (These are the plates you will serve on.)
While the peppers are cooking, place the fennel and oregano in a mortar and pestle or a blender.
Crush until powdered.
Mix together with the cumin, paprika, salt and pepper.
Rub the spice mixture onto the beef until well coated.
Place a large skillet in the oven and preheat to 400°F.
When the pan is hot, add the oil. Add the steak to the pan.
Roast on each side for 5 to 7 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and place each steak on top of the bell peppers on the plates. Then place the pan on the range or cooktop over high heat.
Add the beer to the pan and cook, whisking the bottom of the pan, until the sauce is reduced by about 1/2.
Add the butter and whisk until melted.
Serve the sauce on top of the steak.

Recipe Notes
I had a version of this steak in Spain the last time I was there. The roasted pimento is sweet and the steak savory The version that I had was a little spicier than this recipe, so if you want to add a bit of zing, start with a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
This is great served with something cool like the Cantaloupe and White Bean Salad or Cucumbers and Dill in Sour Cream, especially if you make your steak spicier.
