Roasted Flank Steak and Mango’s with Peanut Butter, Ginger and Chili-Sesame Sauce

This was a recipe from a dinner we had this week. It was really the “magic” sauce that made all three elements of the dinner delicious and come together. There was this great: 1)Flank Steak and Mango’s 2)Whole wheat spaghetti, sliced red peppers, green onions and carrot shavings 3) Baby Bok Choy and Shitake mushrooms.

The Flank steak and the mango’s are a fantastic combination. The spiciness, salty sweetness of the marinated steak was wonderful with the mellow sweet flavor and texture of the mango’s. Enjoy!

2 ½ lbs Flank Steak

1 large mango, peeled and cut into slices

Peanut Butter, Ginger and Chili-Sesame Sauce
3 cloves garlic
1 inch piece of ginger, sliced

2 Tbs soy sauce
½ cup peanut butter

Use only as much hot water as it takes to blend it into a nice smooth sauce.

Adjust flavor as needed with extra soy, sugar or hot chili.

Marinate the steak in about 1 cup of the sauce, refrigerating for at least several hours.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

Line a large sheet pan with tin foil.
Place the steak on the sheet pan, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Add the Mango slices to the pan. Add a few sprigs of cilantro.

Roast the steak and mango’s for about 7-10 minutes or until the steak is done to your liking. Let the meat rest for a few minutes when it gets out of the oven.

Slice the steak and serve on a platter drizzled with sauce. Add the mangos to the platter.

Serve hot and Enjoy!
