Remove steak from marinade; reserve marinade. Combine pepper and peppercorns, and press onto both sides of steak. Coat grill rack with cooking spray; place on grill over medium-hot coals (350u00b0 to 400u00b0). Place steak on rack; grill, covered, 6 minutes on each side or to desired degree of doneness, brushing steak frequently with reserved marinade.

Garnish with edible flowers, if desired.
