    Ingredients


    For the steak:
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
    1 clove garlic, crushed
    salt,to taste
    freshly ground black pepper
    1 1/3 pounds flank steak


    For the red pepper pesto:
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 large red pepper, seeded and finely chopped
    1 shallot, minced
    1 clove garlic, crushed
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    freshly ground black pepper
    1 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
    1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    20 basil leaves, chopped
    1/4 cup toasted pine nuts, chopped




    Cooking Instructions
    1. Mix the oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper together, and brush the mixture on the flank steak. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.


    2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the raw red pepper, shallot and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the peppers soften, about 5 minutes.


    3. Add the roasted red peppers and vinegar and cook for 5 minutes more.


    4. Remove from heat, cool and stir in the basil and pine nuts. (This can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. It should be served at room temperature.)


    5. Preheat the grill to high heat.


    6. Grill the flank steak for 4 to 8 minutes on each side, depending on the desired doneness. Let the steak rest on a carving plate for 1 or 2 minutes before slicing.


    7. Slice the steak on the bias and serve it with the red pepper pesto.
