2 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoonspluss 2tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 teaspoonspluss 2tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
0.13 teaspoons white pepper
0.13 teaspoons salt

1.25 tos 1 1/2 pounds beef flank steak
1 cucumber
2 tablespoons red onion
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line the bottom and sides of a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to catch all the cooking liquid. Arrange halved strawberries on baking sheet.
2
Roast in the preheated oven until fragrant, soft, and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
3
For sauce, transfer roasted strawberries and their juices to a small saucepan. Stir in water, ketchup, brown sugar, 2 teaspoons basil, 2 teaspoons vinegar, 1 teaspoon garlic, white pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then transfer sauce to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.
4
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat, 375 to 400 degrees F (190 to 200 degrees C). Oil grill grates. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt and the black pepper over steak. Grill steak, covered, 10 minutes. Turn steak and brush lightly with sauce. Continue cooking, brushing with sauce every 3 minutes, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part should register 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare or 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium.
5
Transfer steak to a cutting board; cover loosely with foil and let rest 10 minutes. (After resting, temperature should register 135 degrees F (57 degrees C) for medium-rare or 145 degrees F (65 degrees C) for medium.)
6
For salsa, toss together chopped strawberries, cucumber, onion, the remaining 2 tablespoons each basil and vinegar, and the remaining 1 teaspoon each garlic and salt in a medium bowl. Chill salsa, covered, up to 4 hours.
7
Thinly slice steak. Serve with strawberry salsa and garnish with additional basil.
