Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 For the Steak: Place flank steak in a resealable bag and add vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, 4 sprigs thyme and a generous sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Seal bag tightly and squish around to blend marinade and coat the meat. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 4 hours and up to 1 day. 2 For the Corn: Combine butter, basil, and remaining 2 cloves of garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until garlic is finely chopped. Season with salt and pepper, puree until smooth, and reserve in the refrigerator until use. 3 Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread the coals evenly over half of coal grate, the other area empty for the corn and nectarines. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. 4 Wrap corn in foil and place in between hot and cool side of grill and cook until tender and slightly charred, turning several times during cooking, about 20 minutes total. 5 After the corn has been on the grill for 10 minutes, remove steak from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Place flank steak over hot side of grill. Cook until charred, about 3 minutes. Flip meat. Cook meat the center of the steak registers 125°F on an instant-read thermometer for medium-rare, or 135°F for medium. While the steak is on the grill, fill each nectarine cavity with blue cheese. Drizzle with honey and season with pepper. Place nectarines on the cooler side of the grill next to the corn to allow blue cheese to melt and the exterior to char slightly. 6 Remove corn and nectarines from the grill. Finish nectarines with thyme leaves from the remaining sprig. Transfer meat to a cutting board, tent with foil and allow steak to rest for at least 5 minutes. 7 Remove corn from foil. Slather with basil butter. Carve meat on the bias, pour lemon juice evenly over meat and sprinkle with salt. Serve flank steak immediately with corn and nectarines.

Food Trivia

Odor is by far the most important contributor to the flavor of food. The contributions of taste, texture, and appearance are insignificant by comparison. Humans can distinguish an estimated 20,000 different odor qualities.

Food Joke

A young man saw an elderly couple sitting down to lunch at Burger King. He noticed that they ordered one meal, and an extra drink cup. As he watched, the gentleman carefully divided the hamburger in half, then counted out the fries. One for him, one for her, until each had half of them. Then he poured half of the soft drink into the extra cup, and set it in front of his wife. The old man began to eat, and his wife sat watching, with her hands folded in her lap.The young man decided to ask if they would allow him to purchase another meal for them so that they didn`t have to split theirs.The old gentleman said, "Oh, no. We`ve been married 50 years, and everything has always been and will always be shared, 50/50."The young man than asked the wife if she was going to eat, and she replied, "Not yet. It`s his turn using the teeth."
