Grilled Flank Steak with Bourbon Barbecue Sauce

By Judy1

Allowing the meat to rest for 10 minutes lets the juices redistribute throughout the steak for richer flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds flank steak, trimmed
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• Cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1/2 cup less-sodium beef broth
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon bourbon
• 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare grill to medium-high.

Sprinkle steak with rosemary, pepper, and kosher salt. Place steak on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 7 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove from grill; let stand 10 minutes. Cover and keep warm.

While steak rests, heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots; sauté 1 minute. Add tomato paste; cook 1 minute. Stir in broth and sugar. Bring to a boil; cook 3 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in bourbon, vinegar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Cut steak diagonally across grain into thin slices. Serve with sauce.
