Cut the meat into 3-4 filets, depending on how long it is.
Marinate the meat by tossing it in a bowl (or coating it in a ziplock bag) with the salt, pepper, scallions, oregano and oil. If using a bowl, cover with plastic wrap.
Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Bring to room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking
1 pound flank steak, 1-2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 cup scallions, 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh oregano, 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
In a food processor or blender, puree the berries, honey, vinegar and peppers until thoroughly blended. Pour into a saucepan and cook mixture over medium heat for about 20 minutes.
Strain it through a fine-mesh colander or cheesecloth to remove the blackberry seeds and set aside to cool.
1 cup blackberries, 1 cup honey, 1 cup red wine vinegar, 2 chile peppers
Add a little oil to a cast iron skillet or griddle and heat it up over fairly high heat until it is just starting to smoke. Place the room temperature steaks on the skillet and cook (sear) on each side for about 2 minutes, flipping them with tongs.
Brush the blackberry sauce over the tops of the steaks and cook for another minute.
Spoon any remaining blackberry sauce over the steaks before serving.
