Directions

1. Heat your grill to medium-high heat if using gas. For charcoal grills, set the coals on one area to get a hot spot going.
   

2. Prepare Marinade: In a blender, peeled black garlic, 2 pieces of canned chipotle, with some of the adobo that it is in, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 tsp salt. Once blended, marinade all over the flank steak for 2 hours before using.
   

3. Pickle the squash: Using a Japanese peeler. Peel ribbons of Tatume squash, using the pulling motion of starting from the top and pulling the peeler to the base of the squash. Lightly season the ribbons of squash with salt and squeeze of a whole lime. Set aside to let it pickle away (1 to 3 hours)
   

4. Char the tomatoes: Slice the tomatoes in half, toss in olive oil and salt, and grill them for a minute. Use a metal grill spatula to scrape off the tomatoes - it should be blistered without getting too soft. Set aside.
   

5. Now time to grill the flank steak. Unlike a ribeye, this steak is best cooked until medium to ensure the fibers in the steak get tender. On the hot side of the grill, lay the steak down and let it cook for 1m 30secs before flipping for another 1m 30secs. Pull the steak over to the cool side of the grill and let it rest for 3 mins. To slice the steak, cut on biase against the grains of the meat. Always season the sliced meat with some salt for flavor.
   

6. To plate, lay the steak slices on a plate, drizzle over the 1 oz of Morita Salsa Macha, place the charred tomatoes at each corner, then lay over few slices of the squash ribbons before sprinkling over watercress. Drizzle a tablespoon of salsa macha over again and enjoy!
