Grilled Flank Steak with Honey Balsamic Reduction

MMMMMMMMMM ...... flank steak, one of my favorite things.  Super easy to make, and super tasty. I made this dinner for myself and a dear friend last week, and that friend (who is not following paleo) loved it.  So this recipe is delicious, paleo or not. :-)

I served the steak with sweet potato fries, and some fresh strawberries for "desert" - very yummy and satisfying dinner.

 

Sorry but my iphone just can't do it justice, someday I'll bust out my fancy camera. 

 promise ;-)

Grilled Flank Steak with Honey Balsamic Reduction

 

 1 flank steak - seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder and red pepper flakes - generously.  

Reduction

1 cup of balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup of honey (you can add more if you want it to be sweeter)

First, put your balsamic vinager and honey is a small saucepan.  Turn on heat to meduim and wisk often.  Bring the sauce to a low boil, and contiun to wisk and let the sauce redume to about half or more.  When the sauce is done, it will be sweet and the consistacy of cough syrup. Keep the sauce warm while you make the steak.

Heat your grill pan on medium high heat.  I also spray with some olive oil to help out the steak.   Once the pan is hot and your meat is seasoned.  Grill on each side for 3-5 min. - try not to move it around or else the meat will not sear well.

Slice your meat "against the grain" and pour that yummy reduction over it. I also, served mine with sweet potato fries. I just cut a whole sweet potatoes in to matchstick slices, and tosed with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a Ziploc bag.  I then roasted them in the oven on 400 for about 20-30 min. 

Also I did not make my own katsup, so that is plain ole' hunts - for shame! ;-) Someday I'll try making more of my sauces, for now, that's just too much time for me.
