Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 beef flank steak (1 pound)
  • 12 miniature sweet peppers, halved and seeded
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into thin wedges

Instructions

  • 1. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, chili powder and salt. Rub onto both sides of steak.
