Blistered Shishito Pepper Salsa Over Ribeye Steaks

Fire grilled, 100% Grass-Fed Angus Ribeye steaks with a blended salsa of blistered shishito peppers, cilantro, parsley and garlic.

A good salsa verde incorporates garlic, herbs, oils, vinegar and some form of heat, like green chiles or pepper flakes. What’s unconventional in this finishing sauce though, is the use of shishito peppers. A native plant of Japan, these small peppers are generally mild… though you may come across one or two that pack some heat. They are roughly 100 times milder than a jalapeño. Their skin is fairly thin, so they work well with a quick zap of heat. This will blister the outer skin but still leave the pepper crunchy and bright. Simply sprinkle them with a little sea salt and they’re a perfect finger food or appetizer.

I took it one step further and incorporated the peppers into this salsa verde. With their bright, fresh, vegetal flavor, they pair wonderfully in a finishing sauce. Similar to a chimichurri, you’ll simply spoon this over a rich, fatty piece of meat like ribeye which balances the flavors wonderfully.

Of course, when using herbs and chiles you want to make sure you’re using the freshest ingredients to get the most flavors out of your dish. The shishito pepper is generally available year round but peak in summer and early fall. Luckily, I’m always able to find the freshest seasonal ingredients at my local Sprouts Farmers Market. Grabbing fresh produce and swinging by the Sprouts butcher shop for a pasture raised, 100% Grass-Fed Angus steak makes for an easy one-stop shopping experience. Their beef is pasture raised in the USA at family farms, just the way nature intended.

So fire up the grill, blister some shishito peppers, blend it all together with fresh herbs for a this delicious, flavorful meal!

    Oh my gosh! The salsa was so incredibly good. I substituted balsamic vinegar and didn’t add any parsley. Just added a little salt. Amazing!

      Oh! balsamic vinegar sounds like it would be amazing! A little bit of sweetness to go with the spice. Love it!
