Red-Wine and Chile Flank Steak

By Joelene

Ingredients

• 1 cup dry red wine
• 1 chipotle pepper with adobo sauce
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 16 ounces flank steak

Preparation

Step 1

To make marinade, add all ingredients except steak to a blender and puree. Pour the marinade into a resealable bag and add steak. Close the bag tightly, removing the air from the bag. Massage the marinade thoroughly into the meat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours. For the best flavor, marinate overnight.

Remove steaks from the refrigerator about 1 hour before grilling. Heat grill on medium-high. Lightly oil grates and place steak over direct heat. Grill 3-4 minutes on each side for medium rare. Remove and allow to rest for 3-5 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve.

Makes 4 servings.
