PAPAYA-MARINATED STEAK & MALAY ONION SAMBAL
This recipe is great when you have left over papaya skin! Grilled steak is the star of many a braai. The papaya skin is the tenderizer for the steaks and the flesh can be saved for another recipe. The onions in the sambal are salted and then rinsed cleaned, this process softens them and removes their bitter juices. The Malay makes about 1 1/2 cups. The recipe is adapted from Jenna Holst from A South African Barbecue. MAKE AHEAD: The sambal can be prepared through the first step up to 1 day ahead. Steaks marinate for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.

PAPAYA-MARINATED GRILLED FLANK STEAK
Flank steak is not one of the most tender cuts of meat. I've tossed enough of the away! The papaya itself not only lends it's flavor to the meat, it actually has an enzyme that tenderizes the meat. Give it a try. You will need to marinate the flank over-night, so make your plans a little ahead for this reason. This is great with a crisp romaine and cherry tomato salad with chunky bleu cheese, and a great wine. If you leave the meat on the cutting board,ve sure to thoroughly wash the board. Another option, which I do, is to have a hard plastic cutting board, which can be sanitized. The marinating time varies, as you may not want to choose the overnight method. I have not included the overnight method.

Steps:
- Discard papaya seeds. Peel papaya and chop enough to measure 1/2 cup. Mince enough onion to measure 2 tablespoons and, wearing rubber gloves, mince enough jalapeño (with seeds) to measure 1/2 tablespoon. In a bowl stir together papaya, onion, jalapeño, and remaining ingredients and season with salt. Salsa may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
- If you don't have time to marinate the steak, you can still make this dish, but the flavor will not be as intense.
- Be sure to use a sharp knife to thinly slice the steak against the grain. This will help it cook evenly and tenderize the meat.
- Cook the steak over high heat to sear it and lock in the juices. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the steak until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Serve the steak with the Malay onion sambal and enjoy!
