Sofrito Marinated Steak

I found this delicious recipe in the 'dinner tonight!' column in the chicago tribune! . You can marinate this for as little as 30 minutes but 2-3 hours is best. I've included the 30 minute marinading time in the prep time. If you don't have a food processor just chop the vegetables as small as possible and place in a blender with the olive oil and puree.

Steps

For the sofrito: puree onion , bell peppers , cilantro and garlic in a food processor.
Add olive oil , salt and pepper.
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.
Prepare grill or broiler.
Grill or broil the meat to the desired doneness , about 8 minutes per side for medium rare.
Let stand 5 minutes then slice.
Refrigerate or freeze the rest of the sofrito to use in another dish- it goes really well with sauteed chicken.

Ingredients

onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, salt, fresh ground black pepper, flank steak
