Sofrito-Marinated Steak image

I found this delicious recipe in the 'Dinner Tonight!' column in the Chicago Tribune. You can marinate this for as little as 30 minutes but 2-3 hours is best. I've included the 30 minute marinading time in the prep time. If you don't have a food processor just chop the vegetables as small as possible and place in a blender with the olive oil and puree.

Time 56m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 onion, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces (cored and seeded)
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces (cored and seeded)
1 bunch cilantro or 1 bunch flat leaf parsley
6 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 lb flank steak, scored on both sides

Steps:

  • For the sofrito: puree onion, bell peppers, cilantro and garlic in a food processor; add olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • Spread 1 cup of the sofrito over the flank steak, working it into the scored crevices of the meat with your fingers; allow the meat to marinate for at least 30 minutes but 2-3 hours is best.
  • Prepare grill or broiler; grill or broil the meat to the desired doneness, about 8 minutes per side for medium rare.
  • Let stand 5 minutes then slice.
  • Refrigerate or freeze the rest of the sofrito to use in another dish- it goes really well with sauteed chicken.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my steak turned out tough and dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This sofrito marinated steak was a hit at my last dinner party! The marinade was flavorful and easy to make, and the steak cooked up tender and juicy. I served it with rice and vegetables, and everyone raved about it.
