Steps:
- Prepare the tomatoes and bell peppers, working over a bowl to catch all the juices. Cut or tear the peppers into long strips. Strain all the juices into a large non-reactive saucepan. Add the chili. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer until the juices reduce to a heavy syrup and the chili is very soft, about 10 minutes. Scoop out the chili, seed if desired, and mince. Add the peppers and tomatoes to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the chili and salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm or let cool to room temperature.
- Prepare the grill and let it burn down to medium coals. Season the flank steak with salt, pepper, 1 tsp. of the oregano, and brush with 1 Tbs. of the olive oil. Grill, turning once, until done to your taste, about 10 minutes for rare meat. Transfer to a cutting board, drizzle with another 1 Tbs. of olive oil, and crumble the remaining 1/2-tsp. oregano over the top. Let rest for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, brush the bread on both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the bread on both sides until brown and crunchy on the outside but still soft within. Carve the meat on the diagonal into thin slices and arrange on a platter or plates. Top each slice of grilled bread with about 1/4-cup of the roasted peppers in sauce and arrange next to the meat. (Reserve any remaining peppers for another use.)
- Gather all the meat juices (make an effort to scrape the meat juices off the carving board, too) into a small bowl and whisk in the vinegar and the remaining 1 Tbs. olive oil. Drizzle over each portion. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Generously season steak with salt and pepper. In a large resealable bag, combine vinegar, Worcestershire, mustard, brown sugar, and oil. Rub rosemary sprigs between your palms for a few seconds to release oils, then transfer to bag. Add steak, onion, and bell peppers; remove excess air from bag, seal, and shake until marinade evenly coats meat and vegetables. Refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
- Remove steak and vegetables from refrigerator 1 hour before grilling. Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking. Brush grates with oil. Using tongs, remove steak from bag, allowing excess marinade to drip back in. Grill, turning a few times, until charred in places and a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125 degrees for medium-rare, 8 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness. Transfer to a plate; tent with foil and let stand at least 10 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, remove vegetables from marinade and grill, turning a few times, until charred in places and tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Toast bread on grill just until charred and crisp in places, about 1 minute a side. Thinly slice steak; serve with vegetables and bread.
Tips:
- Choose a good quality flank steak: Look for a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
- Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes: This will help to tenderize the steak and infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices.
- Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the steak and give it a nice crust. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Let the steak rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and juicy.
- Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Some good options include grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Grilled flank steak with red pepper pesto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The steak is tender and flavorful, and the pesto adds a nice pop of flavor and color. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
