- 4 small red tomatoes
- 2 cup white wine vinegar
- 2 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
- 1/2 bunch mint, chopped
- 3 peaches, cut into sticks
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup sparkling water
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- oil, as needed
- one 4-ounce sirloin steak
- Poke the tomatoes with a skewer in several places to create holes. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, water, salt, fennel seeds, and chopped mint. Place the tomatoes in the bowl and soak overnight.
- The next day, combine the flour, sparkling water, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Dredge the peach sticks in the tempura batter and heat 2-3 inches of oil in a large pan to 375 degrees. Fry the peach sticks until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Season the steak with salt and pepper, to taste, and lightly grease the grill grates or the steak with oil. Preheat the grill to high and grill the steak for 2 minutes on each side. Place the tomatoes on the grill to warm them through. Serve the steak with the tomatoes and tempura peaches.
