Preheat the oven to 450°. On a baking sheet, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons EVOO. Reserve 1 teaspoon each of rosemary and thyme and sprinkle the rest over the potatoes. Sprinkle with grill seasoning and roast for 25 minutes. 2. Season the steaks with grill seasoning. Preheat a grill or grill pan. Using a food processor, coarsely chop the olives and yellow onion. Transfer to a bowl. Mix in half the garlic, the reserved rosemary, the finely chopped red bell pepper and 1/3 cup EVOO. Set the olive sauce aside. 3. In a bowl, combine the remaining red bell pepper, the green bell pepper, chopped red onion, pickled peppers, remaining garlic, finely chopped tomato, reserved thyme, juice of 1/2 lime, red wine vinegar, 1/3 cup EVOO and salt and pepper to taste. Set the salsa aside. 4. Grill the steaks over direct heat for 3 minutes on each side, then over indirect heat for another 5 minutes for medium-rare.
