Char Broiled Steak with Hoisin Peanut Sauce

So I have been somewhat slacking in the culinary department, but I made this on Saturday. I started it in the broiler. But being that I've never EVER broiled anything, I think it was too close and so kinda burnt the sauce. Smoke filling to apart, I decided to move it to the grill. Which is where I feel much more comfortable. My dad grills everything. We used to joke when I was a kit that if you could grill spaghetti, he would. So my natural instinct is toward the grill.

Char Broiled Steak with Hoisin Peanut Sauce
Servings 4

  • 1/2 c hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 T Rice vinegar
  • 1 lb Beef sirloin, sliced 1/2 in thick (I used flank steak and didn't slice it, but cooked the entire steak then cut it)
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts

In a small bowl, stir together hoisin, peanut butter and vinegar until smooth. Reserve 1/3 cup for dipping sauce.

Heat broiler. Thread steak onto 4 metal skewers; place on foil lined baking sheet. Brush with half of the remaining hoisin mixture. Broil for 4-6 inches from heat; 5-7 minutes for medium rare. Turn once and brush with sauce.

Serve with sprinkled peanuts.
