Instructions

  • Mix all of the marinade ingredients except the steak in a small bowl.
  • Spread all of the ingredients on the steak. Cover the steak and place in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes, but the steak can marinade this way for several hours.
  • Remove the steak from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before you're ready to cook it and allow it to warm up to room temp.
  • Preheat oven broiler.
  • Broil steak for 4-5 minutes on each side until medium-rare. You may have to adjust this time depending on the thickness of your steak. PLEASE, do not overcook this cut of meat. It's beautifully tender and delicious when cooked to medium-rare. If you overcook it, it's liable to be tough and not nearly as flavorful.
  • Let the steak rest 10 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
  • While the steak is resting, thinly slice your onions and peppers and sautee them in bacon grease or home rendered lard.
  • Assemble your salad and savor the flavors!
