Total Time: 56 mins Preparation Time: 40 mins Cook Time: 16 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 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

Recipe

• 1 for the sofrito: puree onion, bell peppers, cilantro and garlic in a food processor; add olive oil, salt and pepper.
• 2 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.
• 3 prepare grill or broiler; grill or broil the meat to the desired doneness, about 8 minutes per side for medium rare.
• 4 let stand 5 minutes then slice.
• 5 refrigerate or freeze the rest of the sofrito to use in another dish- it goes really well with sauteed chicken.
