Craig Mombert, executive chef , Davidson College, Davidson, N.C., says: I have made this harissa-marinated beef for my family and friends outside of work. When I get a chance to cook at home for guests, which is not as frequent as I would like, they are always expecting something that they would see in a restaurant or something different. I enjoy the heat and flavor of freshly made harissa[which is a Tunisian hot chili sauce]. I like to roast the red peppers on my grill , then set overnight to let the roast flavor sink in. At the same time I will marinate the meat overnight to build the flavors. The end result is one that surprised my wife who likes spicy, but flavorful food. I have served this over brown basmati rice, cous cous, or quinoa.
