Grilled Steak and Peppers Vinaigrette
['1 large bunch leeks (2 to 3 pounds; white and pale green parts only)', '2 tablespoons unsalted butter', '1 3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth', '1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf', '3 thyme sprigs', '2 pounds sirloin flap steaks', '2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoon olive oil, divided', '4 Cubanelle peppers (Italian green frying peppers)', '2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar', '2 tablespoons Dijon mustard', '5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil', 'Equipment: a large (2-burner) grill pan']
Halve leeks lengthwise and cut enough crosswise into 1-inch pieces to measure 8 cups, then wash.
Simmer leeks, butter, broth, bay leaf, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until leeks are very tender, about 20 minutes. Uncover and boil until liquid has reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Discard bay leaf and thyme.
Meanwhile, heat grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
Brush steaks with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Grill steaks, turning once, about 8 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and let rest 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, halve and seed peppers and toss with remaining 2 teaspoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Grill, turning once, until crisp-tender and lightly charred, 6 to 10 minutes total. Cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces.
Whisk together vinegar, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Add extra-virgin olive oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Add peppers.
Serve steaks over leeks with their juices, drizzle with meat juices from plate, and top with peppers and vinaigrette.
