- 12 teaspoon chili powder
- 12 teaspoon salt, to taste
- 14 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
- 1 pinch sugar
- 1 12-2 lbs flank steaks
- 1 -2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1 cup, use red, yellow, orange)
- 1 onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1/2 cup sweet onion)
- 14 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 12 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (to taste)
- Combine the chili powder, salt, pepper and sugar.
- Rub the spice mixture over the flank steak.
- At this point, the steak can be refrigerated for up to 12 hours before cooking.
- When ready to cook, prepare the grill.
- If using a gas grill, heat it to medium-high.
- If using a charcoal grill, start the charcoal or wood briquettes; when the briquettes are ready, distribute them evenly under the cooking area for direct heat.
- Oil the grate.
- Grill the steak for about 12 minutes (medium-rare), turning once to ensure even browning, or until the desired degree of doneness.
- While the steak is cooking, place enough oil in an 8- to 10-inch saute pan or skillet to coat the bottom; heat over medium-high heat.
- Add the bell pepper and onion, stirring, and reduce the heat to medium.
- Add the cloves and a pinch of salt and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring, until the vegetables have softened.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the vinegar.
- Return the pan to the heat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the vinegar to reduce and the flavors to meld.
- Taste and add vinegar as necessary.
- Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before cutting into thin slices on the diagonal.
- Serve with the relish spooned over the slices.
