Raspberry Chipotle Flank Steak with Green Rice

Author Notes: The flank steak is a great vehichle for a flavorful marinade. We love a little heat with our sweet. I was once given a jar of a raspberry chipotle bbq sauce but the sodium content was beyond belief. This is my take on that sweetness and is a summertime favorite. In the winter, you can use frozen berries and broil in the oven. - lorigoldsby
Serves 6-8
- 1 medium flank steak
- 1 pint fresh raspberries
- 1/2 pint blackberries
- 1/4 cup honey or agave nectar, only neccessary if using frozen berries
- 4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, or if you like HEAT, the whole can
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 sweet onion, diced (I used a maui onion)
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon each of cumin and coriander
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- kosher salt and pepper
- combine all ingredients except flank steak, salt & pepper in food processor. Run fruit "salsa" mixture through a seive to remove excess seeds. Set aside 1/4 c. of marinade.
- If you have a particularly cheap cut of flank steak, tenderize meat with mallet. Season with salt and pepper. Marinade for 20 minutes to 4 hours....
- Grill to desired doneness (we prefer a nice pink medium rare). As this is a flank steak (feel free to sub other meats), make sure you cut ACROSS the grain if it is a flank steak. There was a good foodpickle (ask a food question) discussion thread about this today. If you don't have a grill (or its winter and buried under 2 ft of snow), sear in a screaming hot, heavy pan and finish under the broiler.
- Serve with Green Rice (brown rice mixed w/ 1 bunch of finely chopped cilantro), flour tortillas and a side of the fruit salsa (the reserved 1/4 c. of marinade and extra fresh berries for garnish)

Great combinations! Sagegreen's raspberries and steak has me newly turned on to berries/fruit and steak, and this take looks mmm tasty!

yes, our recipes are very similar--which I take as high praise to be compared with anything from Sagegreen! This has been a favorite for several years but I need to branch out more with the beef (and bison!!) don't know why we've been letting duck and chicken grab all the berry yumminess for so long!

Love chipotle in adobo, lime and flank steak combo! I used that combo for a steak last night and will definitely try your version! The addition of the berries is a perfect touch!!

This looks fabulous - flank is one of my favorite steaks - I think I will make this over the weekend. Oh and I once added a whole can of chipotles to some refried beans and darn near killed a good (unsuspecting) friend of ours (oops! :-)

That is why I started the recipe with 4 of those little guys...that gives some heat but if you like it spicy, add the can! The grilling does dissapate some of the heat--you really can't tell when the marinade is "raw" that it will mellow out.

We've had great grilling weather here in the midwest. After the horrible winter and hardly a nice spring day, we were prepped to have a hot summer, but its been pleasant! You can actually sit out while you are grilling!
