I love bbqing a steak in the summer and here we are in summer now. Often we all make steak the same way but why not try something new?
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons molasses
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3/8 teaspoon salt
3/8 teaspoon black pepper
6 (4-ounce) beef tenderloin steaks (about 1 inch\par thick)
4 1/2 large shallots -- peeled and halved lengthwise
1 1/2 large red bell pepper -- seeded and quartered (about 8 ounces
1 1/2 large yellow bell pepper -- seeded and quartered (about 8 ounces)
Cooking spray
6 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper
Thyme sprigs (optional)
Combine first 10 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes. Remove steaks and vegetables from bag, reserving marinade. Place reserved marinade in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 3 tablespoons (about 2 minutes). Place a grill pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add shallots and bell peppers; cook 3 minutes on each side or until crisp-tender. Chop shallots and bell peppers; place in a small bowl. Stir in reduced marinade; set aside. Press 1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper onto 1 side of each steak. Wipe pan clean with paper towels; recoat with cooking spray. Place pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add steaks, peppered sides down; cook 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Add bell pepper salsa; cook until thoroughly heated. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.
