Roasted Flank Steak with Fresh Peach Pico de Gallo #BakingBloggers


With Sue of A Palatable Pastime as our host, we're sharing our favorite peach recipes! She wrote: "We're baking peaches this month, by popular demand. Sweet or savory, some  portion of the  recipe should be baked." I can't wait to have some new ways in which to use my favorite summer stone fruit! Here's the line-up...

Roasted Flank Steak 
with Fresh Peach Pico de Gallo

I considered making an authentic bellini with freshly pureed roasted peaches; I toyed with the idea of a peach granita or gelato, again with roasted peaches. But, in the end, I went with the sweet peaches as a foil to a hearty main dish.

Ingredients

Meat
  • 1 flank steak, between 2 and 3 pounds
  • 1 Tablespoon organic brown sugar 
  • 1 Tablespoon sweet paprika 
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander 
  • olive oil, as needed

Peach Pico de Gallo
  • 3 donut peaches, chopped (approximately 1 cup)
  • 1 tomato, chopped (approximately 1 cup)
  • 1/2 sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, chopped
  • 2 to 3 sweet peppers, chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon  honey
  • 1/8 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
  • 18 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
  • freshly ground salt, as needed
  • freshly ground pepper, as needed

Procedure

Meat
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place the flank steak on a parchment-lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, paprikas, salt, cumin, and coriander. Sprinkle the spices over the flank steak and rub it in. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast in the preheated oven for between 25 and 40 minutes, depending on desired level of doneness and size of the steak.


Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving. While the flank steak roasts and rest, prepare your pico de gallo.

Peach Pico de Gallo
Place all of the ingredients - except for the salt and pepper - in a small mixing bowl. Blend gently and let stand for 15 minutes to blend flavors. To make this more spicy, adjust to use more jalapeno peppers.


To Serve
Slice your flank steak into 1/4" to 1/2" thick pieces and lay them on your serving platter.


Spoon the pico de gallo over the top. Sprinkle with freshly ground salt and pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
