Ingredients
3 Anjou or Bosc pears, peeled, cored and sliced
1 onion, sliced
1/4 cup chopped garlic
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 cup white grape juice
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup beef stock
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup tomato paste
3 pounds flank steak, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
- 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.
