Instructions
Prepare your pepper steak marinade by add tamari, brown sugar, Worcestershire, tobasco hot sauce, honey, and Herbie's Bushman's Pepperpot Seasoning to a 1 gallon ziplock bag. Then add your whole cut of flank steak to the bag. Press all of the air out of the bag as you zip it up. Then refrigerate for at least 1 hour but could be marinated over night.
Bring a large pot of water up to a boil and season well with salt. Once at a rapid boil, add the orzo and cook according to the instructions on the package or until al dente. Add the fresh or frozen peas to the boiling orzo 1 minute before the orzo is done. Strain and briefly rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.
Add the cooked orzo and pear to a bowl and toss with lemon juice, olive oil, honey, feta, salt & pepper, to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Prepare the grill or grill pan by heating over high heat. While the grill is heating , remove the marinated steak from the ziplock bag and slice the flank steak, against the grain, into 1/4" thick slices. Once the grill or grill pan is hot rub a little bit of oil on the grate to keep the steak from sticking. Lay each slice of steak out on the hot grill, as many that will fit on the grill at a time, and cook on each side for 2 min or until desired doneness has been reached. Remove the slices of steak onto a plate let them rest.
To serve: Add the orzo salad to a bowl and arrange the grilled pepper steak on top. Garnish with more Herbie's Bushman's Pepperpot Seasoning and more feta cheese if you have some left over.
