Name: Steak and Romesco Toasts
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 16 pintxos
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons sliced almonds; 1 slice sandwich bread; 1 7 ounce jar roasted red sweet peppers, drained and patted dry; 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar; 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for brushing; 2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic, plus 1 large clove garlic, halved; 1 teaspoon smoked paprika; 12 ounces beef skirt steak or beef flank steak, fat trimmed and halved crosswise; Kosher salt; Black pepper; 16 0.5 inch slices rustic baguette

Directions

Step 1

For romesco sauce: In a small skillet, toast almonds over medium heat, stirring often until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Toast bread in toaster until deeply golden; trim and discard crusts. Tear into pieces and cool slightly. In a mini food processor, combine almonds and bread; process to fine crumbs. Add roasted peppers and vinegar; process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl.

Step 2

Wipe skillet clean. Add oil; heat over medium-low heat. Add the chopped garlic; cook until just fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat; stir in smoked paprika. Scrape contents of pan into roasted pepper mixture; stir well to combine. Season to taste with salt. (The romesco can be made up to 2 days ahead and kept refrigerated, tightly covered. Thin with water, if desired.)
Step 3

Bring steak to room temperature before grilling. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat. Oil the grill rack; add steak. Grill, covered, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and grill 2 to 3 minutes more or until internal temperature reaches 145° for medium-rare. (If using flank steak, grill 5 to 6 minutes on each side.) Transfer to a platter; let rest 10 minutes.
Step 4

Brush one side of baguette slices with oil. Place oiled sides down on rack and grill, covered, directly over medium heat until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter, toasted sides up. Rub toasted sides with the halved garlic clove, then sprinkle with salt.
Step 5

Thinly slice steak across the grain. Top each baguette slice with a bit of steak and a dollop of romesco.
