A few weeks ago I was lucky to win a mortar and pestle in a giveaway at Spicie Foodie blog. I was very excited as I've been wanting to get this essential kitchen tool for a while. It is great for grinding spices or preparing homemade pesto, guacamole, or aioli. I find it especially useful for making these recipes in very small portions. Today, I'd like to share a recipe for aioli with spicy picante peppers served atop grilled bison steaks.

Ingredients:

2 garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
4-5 small whole sweet picante peppers, peeled, seeds removed, chopped
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 bison steak fillets, about 6 ounces each
1 tablespoon oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon crushed black peppercorns

Directions:

Place garlic and salt together in the mortar and mash slowly with the pestle.



Add picante peppers and grind the garlic and peppers together into a paste. Whisk in the egg yolk with a wire whisk. Add the oil in a slow stream while whisking with a pestle until the mixture achieves the consistency of mayonnaise. Strain through a fine mesh if necessary.



Brush the steaks with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side. Place the steaks on the plates and let them sit for 1-2 minutes. Spoon the spicy picante pepper aioli on top of each steak. Serve with corn sauté or fried potatoes.
