Prep time: About 20 minutes Grill time: 13 to 17 minutes, plus 5 minutes to rest off the grill Makes: 4 servings 1 jar (4.5 oz.) Safeway Select Stuffed Jalape o Olives, drained 2 garlic cloves, peeled 1 cup coarsely chopped Italian parsley 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel 1/4 cup Safeway Select Verdi Olive Oil 1 Rancher's Reserve Flank Steak (about 11/2 lb.) Prepare barbecue grill and preheat for direct-heat cooking. For charcoal grill, before you put the grill over the hot coals, brush it with a medium coat of oil; for gas grill, when hot, brush grill with a medium coat of oil.Rinse olives and drain well. Combine olives, garlic, parsley, rosemary, lemon peel and oil in a food processor and pulse until mixture forms a fine paste. Set aside 1/2 cup of the tapenade mixture for seasoning meat; reserve remainder for serving or another use.Rinse flank steak and pat dry. With the tip of a sharp knife, make shallow diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart over one side of steak, then make cuts perpendicular to the first to create a diamond pattern. Repeat on other side of steak.Spread 1/2 cup of the olive mixture on both sides of steak to coat evenly.Lay steak on oiled grill over a solid bed of hot coals or high heat on a gas grill. Keep charcoal grill uncovered; close lid on gas grill. Cook steak until browned on the bottom (lift edge with tongs to check), 8 to 10 minutes. With tongs or a wide spatula, turn steak and continue to cook until done as desired, about 2 minutes longer for rare (red in center; cut to test) or 4 minutes longer for medium-rare (pink in center).Transfer steak to a clean platter or rimmed carving board and let rest about 5 minutes, then cut in thin, slanting slices across the grain to serve. Offer remaining tapenade to add to the meat to taste. Beverage suggestions: A spicy, plummy zinfandel; a hoppy, English-style pale ale; or peppermint iced tea.
