🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375-450°F (190-230°C). Ensure the grates are clean to prevent sticking. Ever since my friend told me how she ruined her entire dinner because the grill was dirty, I've been extra cautious.
- Prepare the steak: Pat the steak dry with paper towels. This helps create a beautiful sear. Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a touch of smoked paprika. Don't be afraid to experiment with other spices too!
- Grill the steak: Place the seasoned steak on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Remember, always let the steak rest after grilling – this locks in the juices.
- Let the steak rest: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 10 minutes. Tent it loosely with foil to keep it warm.
- Prepare the peaches: While the steak is resting, lightly brush the peach halves with olive oil. This prevents them from sticking to the grill.
- Grill the peaches: Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the peaches are slightly softened. Be careful not to overcook them – you want them tender but not mushy.
- Make the salsa: Dice the grilled peaches and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. My personal addition? A tiny drop of honey to balance the acidity. But that's just me!
- Slice the steak: After the steak has rested, slice it against the grain into thin strips. This makes it easier to chew and enhances the flavor.
- Assemble and serve: Arrange the sliced steak on a platter. Spoon the fresh peach salsa over the top. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
📝 Notes
- For a spicier salsa, leave the seeds in the jalapeño.
- If peaches aren't in season, try using nectarines or plums.
- Letting the steak rest is crucial for a juicy and flavorful result.
