GRILLED MARINATED FLANK STEAK WITH LIME-CHIPOTLE SAUCE

Steps:

• To make meat: Carefully trim steak of any fat.
• Mix together chipotle, garlic, cilantro, oil, wine and soy sauce; pour over steak. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. I always marinate overnight for the best flavor. To make sauce: In food processor, briefly blend honey, chipotle, vinegar, mustard, lime juice, garlic, cumin, allspice, cilantro and salt. Set aside. Correct seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Prepare grill and hot coals according to manufacturer's instructions. Remove steak from marinade and discard marinade. Pat steak dry and grill over hot coals to desired doneness, approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let steak rest 3 minutes before slicing.
• To serve, slice meat thinly across grain on angle and arrange on warm plates with grilled sweet onions and peppers. Drizzle sauce over or serve on side.
• NOTES : This is a great outdoor dish because it doesn't involve any stove-top or oven cooking. Any leftover meat and sauce can be turned into a filling for tacos or burritos.
