Directions

Flank Steak:

Rub steak with Ancho Chili Rub, oil, and minced garlic. Let marinate in refrigerator for at least 4 hours — overnight preferred. Baste with bourbon glaze and grill over medium-low heat. Cook to desired preparation, basting again with every flip. Finish on hot spot to caramelize glaze.

Broccolini:

Divide blanched broccolini into 4 portions. Combine broccolini, 2 halved pearl onions, and 2 peeled garlic cloves in a tin foil pouch. Season with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Add a couple tablespoons of water and seal pouch. Grill for a total of 12-15 minutes. When finished, remove broccolini and onion halves and toss on hot spot to lightly char for added flavor.
