Steaks are coated with a herb and olive oil mixture and served with colorful grilled bell pepper rings.

Steaks
2 beef top loin steaks, cut 1 1/2 inches thick, excess fat trimmed
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup snipped fresh parsley
1/4 cup snipped fresh basil

2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
Pepper Rings

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Place the bell pepper rings in a bowl and toss with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
