When it comes to marinating these steaks, go long. Time adds intense flavor, the wine helps tenderize, and you can get it going before you hit the road.

Ingredients

Steak:

1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
3 sprigs thyme
2 Fresno chiles, halved
6 garlic cloves, smashed
3/4 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds hanger steak, center membrane removed, cut into 4 pieces

Assembly:

Vegetable oil (for grill)
1 shallot, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 Fresno chile, chopped
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 pound prepared pizza dough, room temperature, cut into 4 pieces
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley steak

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine lemon, thyme, chiles, garlic, wine, oil, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Add steak, close bag, and turn to coat. Chill at least 4 hours.

  2. Do Ahead

    Step 2

    Steak can be marinated 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.

  3. Assembly:

    Step 3

    Prepare campfire for medium-high heat. Bank coals on one side to create a two-zone fire; oil grate. (If cooking at home with a gas grill, leave one or two burners off.) Cook shallot, garlic, chile, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until shallots are softened; season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

    Step 4

    Remove steak from marinade; season with salt. Grill over direct heat, turning occasionally, until cooked to desired doneness, 8–10 minutes for mediumrare. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest 10 minutes. Slice against the grain.

    Step 5

    Meanwhile, working one at a time, gently stretch each piece of dough into an oval (about 12x8") and grill over direct heat, flipping and rotating as needed, until lightly charred and stiff, about 1 minute per side. Move to cooler part of grill to keep warm until ready to serve.

    Step 6

    Spoon shallot butter over flatbreads and top with parsley. Serve with steak.
