This steak is best marinated for just a few hours. Mixed black, green, and pink peppercorns offer slightly less heat than all black peppercorns, though you can use them instead. Ingredients:
1/2 cup apple-kiwi dressing |
1 (3/4-pound) boneless sirloin steak (about 1 1/2 inches thick), trimmed |
2 teaspoons coarsely ground mixed peppercorns |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Combine Apple-Kiwi Dressing and steak in a large zip-top plastic bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 4 hours, turning bag occasionally.
2. Prepare grill to high heat.
3. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Combine peppercorns and salt; sprinkle over both sides of steak. Place on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove from grill; cover and let stand 10 minutes. Cut across grain into thin slices.
4. Wine note: To me, steak says cabernet sauvignon. But with this dish, I'd choose cabernet for another reason, too-the peppercorns, which have a definitive flavor that's bold enough to need a structured red as a contrast. Cabernets are usually pricey, but here's a terrific quaffer that's a steal: Raymond Vineyards Amberhill Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2002 is $13. -Karen MacNeil
