Grilled Flank Steak with Apricot Salad - TheGarlicDiaries

Hi there, summer – nice to bump into you again! I’m looking forward to spending the next several weeks enjoying you before the lovely fall season begins to creep in 😍!

This recipe is basically a summer celebration. Why? First of all: we grill the steak. What screams summer more than grilling? Secondly, apricots. Apricots are in season right now, and they are tart, sweet, soft little gems that need to be all up in yo kitchen, STAT.

The flank steak is COVERED in the best spice rub ever and then grilled to medium rare perfection. And then – the summer star – it is piled high with apricot salad.

Super simple, very little prep, but SO GOOD. It is:

  • Tangy
  • Slightly sweet
  • Fresh and bright
  • A teensy bit spicy (hi, chili flakes 👋)

Heaven. A bite of the boldly spiced steak + the tender, tangy, bright/slightly sweet apricot salad? Mhm – YES HONEY.

Let’s talk a little bit of details on this salad. What do we have to do to make this happen? Allow me to explain.

  1. Chop your apricots. Get that pit out of there and go to TOWN. Nice and thin.
  2. Parsley! Mince it. Finely!
  3. Add the apricots and parsley to a bowl and then lovingly drizzle over some honey and avocado oil (or another unflavored oil) + some lime juice, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
  4. Stir and taste. Stir and taste. Repeat while playing summery music in the background with the windows open while sipping lemonade. All of those things are required.

LOAAAAD it on top of your grilled steak! All the yes.
