Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons triple peppercorns (recommended: peppercorn melange)
- 1 flank steak, about 1 1/4 pounds
- Salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic flakes
- 4 slices bacon, diced
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Directions
Heat a stove-top grill pan or griddle with cooking spray over medium-high heat to preheat. Place peppercorns in a plastic bag and smash with the flat side of a meat mallet, or bottom of a heavy skillet, until finely crushed. Season both sides of flank steak with crushed peppercorns, salt and garlic flakes.
Place steak on hot pan and cook 5 minutes per side for medium doneness. Remove from heat and let steak rest 10 minutes. Slice meat crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices.
While the steak is cooking, Place diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp. Add vinegar and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes, or until liquid reduces. In a small bowl, add broth and cornstarch, whisking until cornstarch is completely dissolved, and add to skillet. Simmer 2 minutes bringing to a full boil, until sauce thickens. Remove from heat, spoon sauce over steak slices and top with parsley.

I love to cook, and simple recipes are my favorite. This recipe is simple and very tasty. The glaze was wonderful and complimented the flank steak quite well. Will be making this again for just hubby and me, and also for guests. Yummy!

Full of unexpected flavor. I was unsure of how the glaze would taste with how dark it looked. I sliced the steak and then sampled the glaze and was surprised how tasty it turned out. Spooned generous amount of glaze on the stake and served with loaded baked potatoes. A big hit and this recipe is a keeper.
