Smoky Texas T-Bone, Marinated in Adobo Puree

Ingredients:

1 can Chipotles in Adobo sauce
2 green bell peppers, cut into 8 pieces
4 jalapenos, stems removed, cut in half
4 T-bone steaks

Directions:

• For puree: Take one can of Chipotles in Adobo sauce, pour contents into a blender, add 1 or 2 tsp of water, blend to a smooth consistency, adding more water if necessary.
• Place T-Bone Steaks in a plastic bag, and add 2 tablespoons of the marinade for each steak you want to marinate. Allow the puree to cover the steaks, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
• Preheat grill to a medium heat, grill steaks over direct heat for 7 to 10 minutes per side, to desired doneness. Serve with grilled peppers and Creamy Avocado Sauce.
• For vegetables, in a lightly oiled grill pan, or grill wok, place peppers brushed with olive oil over direct heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Toss every few minutes to avoid charring.
