Flank Steak with Red Onion Chutney
Summer and warm evenings almost inevitably mean the smell of barbecue drifting through the air – and there are few things better than sitting down outside to enjoy something fresh from the grill as the sun goes down. Barbecued food can sometimes feel a little heavy, so we’ve created a dish that satisfies that craving for something grilled while still feeling fresh and light. It’s filling enough to round off a wonderful summer day without weighing you down. Flank steak is perfect for cooking over charcoal, adding that extra touch of summer flavour. And the red onion chutney? You may want to remember this one – it makes a fantastic accompaniment to just about any grilled meat.

Instructions
Yoghurt Sauce Finely chop all the ingredients and stir them into the yoghurt. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then keep chilled until ready to serve.
Red Onion Chutney Slice the onions into rings about 3 mm (⅛ inch) thick. Gently sauté them in oil until they begin to soften. Add the sugar and vinegar, cover and leave to cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally.
The chutney is ready when the onions are almost completely soft and have lost their raw onion flavour. This should take about 20 minutes.
Boil the potatoes until tender. Slice the red onion and radishes, cut the tomatoes into wedges and toss everything together with the salad leaves.
Grill the flank steak for a few minutes on each side, or until cooked just the way you like it. Allow the meat to rest briefly before slicing, then serve with the salad, yoghurt sauce and red onion chutney.
