Steps:
- To tenderize the steak, poke the steak throughout with a fork or meat prongs. With a sharp knife, cut out and discard the sinew in the center of the steak. Season liberally with salt and coarsely ground black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear each side, about 3 minutes per side.
- To make the salsa, cut the onions into rings. Slice the chilies and garlic. Add onions to the pan with the steak, season with salt and pepper.
- Add the chilies to the pan, and add a little more olive oil, if necessary. After a few minutes, add the garlic to the pan. Drizzle with the vinegar. Continue to cook the steak until it is medium-rare, 10 to 12 minutes. Rest the steak on a cutting board for about 10 minutes. Slice against the grain, season with more salt, pepper and olive oil if desired, and serve with the salsa picante.

SALSA PICANTE FOR HOME CANNING
This is from the New Mexico Department of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service via http://www.fiery-foods.com/dave/canning.asp. This site has a wonderful explanation for how to & why of water bath processing. Per this site, this recipe was designed for hot water processing (suggesting the acidity is high enough to be safe). Do not alter the ratios unless it is to increase vinegar as adding more low acid vegies like peppers, onions, cilantro, garlic could result in an unsafe product (think botulism). This is the case for any home canning - so don't be put off. Oh, this salsa is rated "Medium-Hot" on that site so we will know soon!

Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful tomatoes: Use vine-ripened tomatoes for the sweetest and most flavorful salsa.
- Use a variety of peppers: Combine sweet and spicy peppers to create a balanced flavor profile. For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers before chopping.
- Add some acidity: A squeeze of lime juice or a dash of vinegar will brighten the flavors of the salsa and prevent it from tasting flat.
- Use fresh herbs: Cilantro, basil, and oregano are all great additions to salsa. They add a pop of color and freshness.
- Don't over-chop the ingredients: A chunky salsa has more texture and flavor than a smooth salsa. Just give the ingredients a rough chop so that they can retain their individual flavors.
- Chill the salsa before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. Salsa is best served cold or at room temperature.
Conclusion:
Salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's perfect for tacos, burritos, nachos, and grilled meats. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a salsa that everyone will enjoy.
