- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 6 well-trimmed 6-ounce steaks, strip or tenderloin, 1 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- ¼ cup cored, seeded, and minced green pepper
- ¼ cup water
- 1 (15-ounce) can black-eyed peas, rinsed
- 2 cups seeded and diced fresh garden tomatoes
- ¼ cup minced green onion
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, black pepper, curry powder, and lime juice. Brush the steaks with this marinade and allow them to rest for 15 minutes, turning once.
- Light the grill or oven broiler.
- In a large skillet over high heat, combine the peanut oil, chili powder, and green pepper. Sauté for 1 minute, lower the heat to medium, stir in the water and black-eyed peas, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, stir well, and add the green onion. Set aside to cool. The chili should be served at room temperature.
- Grill or broil the steaks for 3 minutes per side, turning only once for rare. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before spooning the black-eyed pea chili over them.
