  1. In a large saute pan heat the oil.
  2. Add the sliced onions, peppers and garlic and cook over medium heat until everything is soft, about 20-30 minutes.
  3. You may need to add the water a couple tablespoons at a time to keep it from drying out.
  4. Add the tomatoes and espelette and cook another 10 minutes until they have broken down and the peperonata is done.
  5. It should be slightly saucy and the vegetables should be soft.
  6. Season and keep warm.

  2. Remove the bay leaves from the sauce, transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.
  3. Adjust seasoning. It should be thick.
  4. Slice the tritip AGAINST the grain into thin slices, like you would a brisket or flank steak.
