To achieve the best results with your Peach Glazed Beef, preheating your grill or pan is a critical step that should not be overlooked. Preheating creates the perfect environment for searing the meat, allowing you to lock in the delicious juices and flavors. When the cooking surface is hot enough, it promotes a Maillard reaction, which is responsible for that beautiful, caramelized crust that enhances both the taste and appearance of your dish.

Ingredients
  

2 lbs flank steak or sirloin

1 cup fresh peaches, diced (canned peaches can be substituted if fresh ones are out of season)

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup brown sugar

3 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 tablespoons honey

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for added heat)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a blender, combine the diced peaches, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency to create a flavorful marinade.

    Marinate the Beef: Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the peach marinade over the beef, ensuring it is evenly coated. Set aside the remaining marinade for glazing later. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight to enhance the flavor.

      Preheat the Grill or Pan: If you’re using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If cooking on the stovetop, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

        Cook the Beef: Remove the marinated beef from the refrigerator; let any excess marinade drip off. Grill or sear the steak for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side, adjusting the time based on your preferred level of doneness. Brush the beef with the reserved peach glaze during the final few minutes of cooking to intensify the flavor.

          Rest and Slice: Once cooked to your liking, carefully remove the beef from the heat and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes. Resting helps preserve the meat's juices. After resting, slice the beef against the grain into thin strips for optimal tenderness.

            Serve: Arrange the sliced beef on a serving platter and drizzle any remaining glaze on top. Finish with a garnish of fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch. This dish pairs well with grilled vegetables or can be served over a bed of fluffy rice for a complete meal.
