Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin steak, trimmed
- 1 red bell pepper, halved lengthwise and seeded
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh ginger
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp black peppercorns, crushed
- 1 cup curly endive
- 1 cup chopped radicchio
- ½ cup cut scallions, white part only
Instructions
- Preheat your grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Blend soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger together in a blender or food processor until dressing is smooth.
- Press peppercorns into both sides of steak and season with salt.
- Place steak, scallions, and red bell pepper on the preheated grill and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook until vegetables are charred and steak is cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes more.
