Balsamic-Jalapeno Grilled Flank Steak

List of Ingredients




2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
About 2 teaspoons sugar
2 large cloves garlic
1/2 fresh jalapeno chile with seeds, or to taste
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, or to taste
1�- to 2-pound flank steak, about 1-inch thick
Salt and fresh ground black pepper


Recipe



� Fire up the grill or preheat broiler, placing rack so meat will 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. Accompany with a big, mellow merlot, salad and perhaps, new peas.

� Makes six servings.
