Categories: 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

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Transfer steak to a heated platter. Slice on an angle across the width of the meat. Spoon pan juices over each serving.
