Recipe by Chef Mike Reining, host of The Radio Kitchen. Although this recipe is pan seared, it can be just as easily grilled on your barbeque. I like this served over a rice pilaf with sauted green beans and carmelized cippolini onions. Serve this meal with a big, bold red Zinfandel wine.
 
Ingredients
  1/4  cup honey  
  1/4  cup lime juice  
  2  whole chipotle peppers  
  4  cloves garlic  
  2  tablespoons vegetable oil  
  2  tablespoons balsamic vinegar  
  2  tablespoons whole-grain mustard  
  1  teaspoon powdered cumin  
  2  teaspoons fresh parley -- chopped  
    salt and pepper -- to taste  
  3  pounds flank steak  
 
Instructions
 
  1. For sauce, combine honey, lime juice, peppers, garlic, oil, vinegar, mustard, and cumin in blender or food processor. Puree. Stir in parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.

 
  2. Season the steak with pepper to taste. Sprinkle thin layer of salt on bottom of skillet; heat pan over high heat until salt just begins to brown. Add steaks, and sear until down side is dark and crusty, 5 to 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high, flip steak and cook 5 to 7 minutes for medium-rare. To check for doneness, cut corner of steak with knife and look inside; remove when just slightly less than done, because meat will continue to cook after removed from heat.

 
  3. Remove meat from pan; allow to rest about 5 minutes. Using sharp knife, slice meat as thinly as possible, slicing against grain on sharp angle. Serve each steak portion with about 2 tablespoons sauce.
