Grilled Flank Steak With Bacon Balsamic Glaze Recipes

PEAR BALSAMIC FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Combine the marinade ingredients in a non-reactive bowl large enough to accommodate the steak and mix well to dissolve the sugar. Submerge the steak in the liquid and let it marinate for 2 days, covered, in the refrigerator.
• When you are ready to cook, remove the flank steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Heat a grill or grill pan on high heat. Rub the steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Grill the steak for about 8 to 10 minutes per side for medium rare. Let the steak rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.
• While the steak is cooking and resting, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Remove the onions and pears from the marinade and sauté them until they are golden and caramelized, about 8 minutes. Set the onions and pears aside and strain the marinade into the hot skillet. Cook until the marinade is reduced by half.
• To serve, slice the steak into thin slices against the grain. Top the slices with the caramelized onions and pears and the reduced marinade.
