Serves 6 peopleCategories: Beef Main Dish
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- about 2 tsp. sugar
- 2 large cloves garlic
- 1/2 fresh jalapeno chili with seeds, or to taste
- 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar, or to taste
- 1 1/2 to 2 lb. flank steak, about 1-inch thick
- salt and fresh ground black pepper
Directions
-
Heat the grill or preheat broiler, placing rack so meat, well be about 4 inches from the heat. In a food processor, blend oil, sugar, garlic, jalapeno and vinegar. Taste for sweet, hot, tart balance. Adjust if necessary. Rub mixture over the steak. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
-
Grill over a hot fire, or set on a rack in a pan and broil. Figure about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Since heat sources differ, check doneness by poking with your finger, or making a small slit in the steak. Very soft is very rare, some firmness is medium rare, firm is well done.
-
Transfer steak to a heated platter. Slice on an angle across the width of the meat. Spoon pan juices over each serving.
