BEERBECUE BEEF FLANK STEAK



Beerbecue Beef Flank Steak image

There are very few things in life as beautiful as a glistening, smoky flank steak on a grill, being painted with beerbecue sauce. Any beer will do, but try to use something on the more aggressive side if you can. The subtle bitterness from the beer in the background really makes this sauce pop.

Time 8h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup ketchup
¼ cup molasses
⅓ cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup strong beer
1 (1 1/2-pound) trimmed beef flank steak
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Pour ketchup, molasses, and white vinegar in a bowl; add white sugar, 2 teaspoons black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, cayenne pepper, cumin, allspice, and cinnamon. Whisk until sauce is smooth. Pour in beer.
  • Place flank steak into a non-reactive container; pour sauce over meat. Poke at least 100 holes per side in the flank steak using 2 forks.
  • Cover container with plastic wrap and marinate beef 8 to 12 hours (up to overnight).
  • Remove flank steak from marinade and pat the meat dry with paper towels. Pour leftover marinade into a saucepan, place over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes to make a basting sauce.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Season flank steak with salt and black pepper.
  • Grill flank steak for 2 1/2 minutes; turn meat around on grate to a 45-degree angle to make diamond grill marks; grill for 2 1/2 more minutes. Repeat on second side, turning meat 45 degrees after 2 1/2 minutes and grilling 2 1/2 more minutes.
  • Flip steak to original side and paint meat with sauce. Continue to grill until sauce has glazed onto the meat, about 30 seconds. Turn meat over and brush other side with sauce. Sauce will burn if cooked too long. Repeat 1 more time, brushing and glazing sauce onto meat for about 30 seconds on each side. An instant-read meat thermometer, inserted into the thickest part of the flank steak, should read 125 degrees F (52 degrees C).
  • Transfer steak to a platter and let rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing lengthwise down the center; cut each half across the grain into slices about 3/8 inch thick. Drizzle slices with more sauce to serve.

AJI SAUCE

Categories     Sauce     Food Processor     Onion     Low Fat     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Low Cal     Vinegar     Healthy     Low Cholesterol     Jalapeño     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes abaout 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup coarsely chopped seeded jalapeño chiles (about 4 large)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped green onions (about 2 large)
1/3 cup coarsely chopped sweet onion (such as Maui or Vidalia)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons (or more) red wine vinegar or fresh lime juice
3/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine jalapeño chiles, green onions, sweet onion, and cilantro in processor; puree until paste forms, scraping down sides of bowl with rubber spatula several times. Add 2 tablespoons vinegar and process until mixture is blended but some texture still remains. Transfer to small bowl. Stir in 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and more vinegar to taste, if desired. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: Flank steak is a lean and flavorful cut that is perfect for marinating. It is important to use a flank steak that is at least 1 inch thick, so that it can stand up to the marinade and cooking process.
  • Make sure to marinate the steak for at least 4 hours, or overnight: This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the meat and make it more tender. If you are short on time, you can marinate the steak for as little as 30 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the better it will taste.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to lock in the juices and prevent the steak from becoming tough. If you are using a grill, preheat it to high heat before cooking the steak. If you are using a skillet, heat it over medium-high heat.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Beer-marinated flank steak with aji and guacamole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The flank steak is marinated in a flavorful beer-based marinade, then grilled or pan-fried until tender. It is served with aji, a Peruvian green sauce, and guacamole, a creamy avocado dip. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
