This flank steak recipe comes together easily on a baking sheet, but if you're itching to take it outside, fire up the grill instead. Just be sure to use a grill basket for the peppers so you don't end up chasing them around the grates, or worse, losing them to the fire.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground pepper
¾ teaspoon kosher salt plus a pinch, divided
1 pound flank steak, trimmed
1 pound shishito or mini bell peppers
1 tablespoon sesame oil plus 1 teaspoon, divided
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 scallion, minced

Directions

Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
Combine brown sugar, pepper and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Pat steak dry, then rub the brown sugar mixture on both sides. Place on the prepared pan.
Toss peppers with 1 tablespoon oil in a large bowl. Scatter the peppers around the steak.
Broil, flipping the steak and stirring the peppers once halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the steak registers 145 degrees F for medium rare and the peppers are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, scallion and the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and pinch of salt in the large bowl.
Transfer the steak to a clean cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Add the peppers and any accumulated juices from the steak back to the bowl and toss to coat. Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the peppers.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
