Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chipotle hot sauce, such as Cholula brand
  • 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 1/4 pounds flank steak

Method

  • Heat a grill to high (450° to 550°). In a small bowl, combine hot sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and ketchup. Put half the mixture in a shallow bowl and reserve the other half to serve as ketchup. Season steak with salt and pepper. Add steak to bowl and turn to coat; marinate 10 minutes.
  • Grill steak, brushing occasionally with any remaining marinade as you go, 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes.
  • Serve with reserved ketchup and, if you like, fries.
