Flank steak is an amazing tasting, lean, & affordable cut of beef that only needs a little TLC to really shine. Normally I find that a properly grilled steak doesn’t normally need a sauce but sometimes the right sauce can really help to bring out all those amazing flavors. One of my favorite sauces with a flank steak is actually a bell pepper & cherry tomato salsa that is full of flavor.
Using the high heat of a Bull Grill is key to grilling an amazing flank steak. I grill my flank steak for about 4 minutes on each side and aim for medium-rare. Flank Steak will become very tough the longer you cook it. Remember to slice the steak into thin strips against the grain (perpendicular to the long strands of muscle)
When making my salsa I use a 1 to 1 ratio of grilled cherry tomatoes and grilled bell peppers.
This salsa is great with tacos, chips, chicken, and of course flank steak. I normally don’t use cilantro or much spicy heat in this salsa but adding some is always a great idea.
I love grilling bell peppers on my Bull Outdoor Kitchen!
Remember quick high heat is the best way to cook flank steak without it getting tough. Although not necessary I also like marinating my flank steak before grilling.
