KOREAN BARBECUED FLANK STEAK

Recipe is from Rachael Ray's 30-Minute Get Real Meals. I use this all the time for my flank steak and get great reviews. It also can be served with her Hot and Sour Slaw Salad. I didn't include the time for marinating. Recipe calls for 10 minutes and I usually prepare it in the morning and let it sit in the fridge till dinner time.

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon grill seasoning, such as McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning
1/4 cup tamari, dark soy sauce (regular works also)
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 large garlic cloves, minced

2 scallions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 lbs flank steaks

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish (or I use a plastic ziploc bag), combine the grill seasoning, tamari, honey, red pepper flakes , garlic, sesame oil, scallions and vegetable oil. Coat the flank steak in the mixture and let it stand for 10 minutes. (I usually do this in the morning and let it sit all day in the fridge.).
  • Preheat an indoor electric grill (I use a Foreman grill) or outside grill to medium high. When the grill is screaming hot, add the meat and cook for 5 minutes on each side for medium rare, 7-8 minutes on each side for medium well or to your doneness. (On my Foreman grill it takes about 6-8 minutes for our tastes.).

KOREAN BARBECUED FLANK STEAK WITH HOT & SOUR SLAW image

Categories     Beef     Vegetable     Grill/Barbecue

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons grill seasoning blend (preferably McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning)
1/4 cup tamari dark soy
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons dried hot red pepper flakes, divided
4 large cloves garlic, chopped, divided
2 teaspoons toasted (dark) sesame oil, eyeball it
2 scallions, finely chopped
Vegetable oil, for drizzling plus, 2 tablespoons, twice around the pan
2 pounds flank steak
1 pound bok choy or Napa cabbage, trimmed and shredded with a knife
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh crisp sauerkraut, in poly bags found in the refrigerated pickle section of market

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish, combine grill seasoning, dark soy, a tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon of the hot pepper flakes, half of the chopped garlic, sesame oil, scallions and a drizzle of vegetable oil. Coat the flank steak in the mixture and let it stand 10 minutes. Preheat a stove top grill pan or an outdoor grill to medium high. When the grill pan or grill is screeching hot, add the flank steak and cook 5 minutes on each side for medium rare, or 7 to 8 minutes on each side for medium doneness. For slaw, heat a large heavy skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, cabbage and peppers. Season with salt and stir fry 2 or 3 minutes. Add a drizzle of honey, about 1 tablespoon, hot pepper flakes and garlic and toss to combine with cabbage. Add sauerkraut and mix it in, heating it through and through for about 1 minute. Turn off heat. To serve, let meat rest 5 minutes for juices to redistribute. Thinly slice the meat on a heavy angle against the grain (the lines in the meat). Pile the slaw up and top with sliced Korean steak and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak: Look for a steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick and has a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the steak is tender and juicy.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. There are many different marinade recipes to choose from, so find one that you like and experiment with different flavors.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak is best cooked over high heat so that it can develop a nice crust on the outside while staying tender and juicy on the inside. You can grill, pan-fry, or broil the steak, depending on your preference.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Flank steak can be served with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad. You can also serve it with a flavorful sauce, such as chimichurri or salsa.

Conclusion:

Barbecued flank steak is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great option for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal. With a little preparation and attention to detail, you can easily create a barbecued flank steak that is tender, juicy, and flavorful.
