Instructions: Cut steak in half horizontally to make 2 thin steaks. Trim excess fat from meat, add fat to large heavy skillet & render over high heat. Grind pepper generously over steaks, then press onion & garlic into steaks. When fat is smoking, add pequin to skillet, sprinkling it very evenly across surface.

Add steaks & sprinkle bell pepper around edges of skillet. Brown steaks quickly on bottom, turn over & sprinkle with jalapeno slices. Add bread or roll halves, cut side down, to skillet. Continue to cook until bread is toasted & meat is done to your liking; meat only takes a very short time to cook rare, so watch closely. Serve steaks very hot, on grilled bread on warmed plates; spoon bell pepper alongside.

Makes 2 servings.
