Grilled Flank Steak With Tomatoes, Red Onion and Balsamic

Uh-mazing! Seriously, you have to try this one. It's awesome and such a great, easy dish! I served it with creamed spinach (recipe to follow) and mashed potatoes. Also, we live in a condo downtown so I "grilled" the steak on Mr. George Foreman...works great!

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 lb flank steak, fat trimmed
• kosher salt and fresh pepper
• garlic powder
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp balsamic
• 1/3 cup red onion, chopped
• 3-4 tomatoes, chopped (about 3 1/2 cups)
• 1 tbsp fresh herbs such as oregano, basil or parsley

DIRECTIONS:Pierce steak all over with a fork. Season generously with salt, pepper and garlic powder and set aside about 10 minutes at room temperature.

In a large bowl, combine onions, olive oil, balsamic, salt and pepper. Let onions sit a few minutes with the salt and balsamic to mellow a bit. Combine with tomatoes and fresh herbs and adjust seasoning if needed.

Heat grill or broiler on high heat. Cook steak about 7 minutes on each side for medium rare or longer to taste. Remove from grill and let it rest on a plate for about 5 minutes before slicing.


Slice steak think on the diagonal; top with tomatoes and serve.
