Day 35: Flank Steak with Raspberry-Chipotle Sauce

Ingredients:

large zip-top bag

1/3 cup molases

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon garlic salt

1 teaspoon liquid smoke

2 lb beef flank steak

1 cup barbecue sauce

1/4 cup raspberry preserves

3 tablespoon chipotle mustard

1 tablespoon chipotle hot pepper sauce

aluminum foil

6 bakery hamburger buns

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place in zip-top bag, molasses, worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and liquid smoke; shake to mix. Add flank steak (wash hands); seal tightly and knead bag to evenly coat the steak. Transfer meat and marinade to 2-quart baking dish. Bake 25-30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145 (for medium rare). Use a meat thermometer to acurately ensure doneness.

2) Combine remaining ingredients (except buns) in a medium bowl. (sauce may be warmed if desired. Place in microwave-safe bowl; microwave on HIGH 30-45 seconds or until warm).

3) Transfer steak to cutting board and cover loosely with foil; let stand 5 minutes. Slice meat thinly (across the grain). Place meat on buns, top with sauce. Serve.

What we thought:

Jimmy made most of this. I just handed him the ingredients out of the fridge. This was so good! This is always a 10! We make this maybe once every couple of months. We WILL make this again for sure!
