Grilled flank steak and peperonata topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for greasing grill grates
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- Flank steak weighing 700 g, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise
- 1 red onion, sliced into 1cm thick circles, separated into rings
- 6 Italian roasting peppers (such as Cubanelle), quartered lengthwise and seeded
- A pinch of red pepper flakes
- Half a baguette, cut in half horizontally
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
Preparation:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, mustard, thyme, and 1 grated garlic clove. Rub the mixture all over the steak, season with salt and pepper; set aside. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil with the remaining grated garlic; set aside.
- Toss the red onion and pepper with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Grill the vegetables, turning, until lightly charred and tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and red pepper flakes. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
- Brush the grill grate with olive oil. Grill the steak until browned, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest. Meanwhile, toast the bread on the grill. Then cut into slices; brush the cut sides with garlic oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Add mint to the onion and pepper mixture. Thinly slice the steak across the grain. Serve with peppers and garlic bread.
