Add the yellow pepper, shallot and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until just beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Add the roasted peppers, jalapeño and vinegar. Cover and cook over low heat until the vegetables are very tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the oregano. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, toast the almonds over moderately high heat, stirring constantly, until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Light a grill or heat a cast-iron grill pan over moderately high heat. Rub the steaks with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the steaks for about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes, then transfer to plates. Spoon the pepper relish on top of the steaks, sprinkle with the toasted almonds and serve. Rate it Print
