Sofrito-Marinated Steak - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 onion, cut into 1 inch pieces
    1 green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces (cored and seeded)
    1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces (cored and seeded)
    1 bunch cilantro or 1 bunch flat leaf parsley
    6 cloves garlic
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    2 teaspoons salt
    1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
    1 lb flank steak, scored on both sides
Preparation
    For the sofrito: puree onion, bell peppers, cilantro and garlic in a food processor; add olive oil, salt and pepper.
    Spread 1 cup of the sofrito over the flank steak, working it into the scored crevices of the meat with your fingers; allow the meat to marinate for at least 30 minutes but 2-3 hours is best.
    Prepare grill or broiler; grill or broil the meat to the desired doneness, about 8 minutes per side for medium rare.
    Let stand 5 minutes then slice.
    Refrigerate or freeze the rest of the sofrito to use in another dish- it goes really well with sauteed chicken.
