6 cloves | roasted garlic |
1 cup | balsamic vinegar |
1 tsp | fresh thyme leaves |
1/4 tsp | salt |
fresh ground black pepper | |
2 Tbsp | unsalted butter |
16 ounces | flank steak |
spray oil |
Place the roasted garlic, balsamic vinegar and thyme in a blender or mini chopper. Process until smooth.
Place the mixture in a small stainless or non reactive pan over medium low heat. Simmer very gently for about 30 minutes, reducing the sauce by about two thirds until there is 1/3 cup. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve. Rinse the pan.
Return the strained sauce to the pan and add the salt, pepper and butter. Reduce the heat to low and whisk until the butter melts.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. (Or heat the grill.) Place a large skillet or grill pan in the oven.
When hot spray the pan lightly with oil and place the flank steak in the pan. Sear on the first side for about 8 minutes and turn. Cook for another 6 - 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for about 2 minutes.
Slice and serve topped with about 2 tablespoons sauce.
