SIMPLE BROILED FLANK STEAK WITH HERB OIL



Simple Broiled Flank Steak with Herb Oil image

Flank steak is a relatively lean cut of meat but full of flavor. This preparation is low on the fussiness factor: Put your seasoned steak on a preheated broiler pan and cook, no flipping needed. Just be sure to cut the meat against the grain-across, not parallel with, the visible lines of muscle fibers-so the steak will be tender, not chewy.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 flank steak, 1 1/2- to 2-pounds

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack 5 to 6 inches from the broiler unit, and preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan or baking sheet with foil, and set the broiler insert on top of the broiler pan if using. Place the pan on the oven rack, and preheat until hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together 1/4 cup of the oil, parsley, vinegar, garlic, pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Cover the herb oil, and set aside until ready to serve.
  • Stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on both sides of the steak.
  • Carefully remove the broiler pan from the oven, put the steak in the center and broil (without turning) until nicely browned and firm, with some give when pressed in the thickest part, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain, and serve with the herb oil.

BRAISED FLANK STEAK WITH LEMON AND GARLIC



Braised Flank Steak with Lemon and Garlic image

This is one of my mother's best recipes from my childhood. Flank steak was cheap back then, so feel free to substitute chuck steak or flap meat. The ingredients are simple but very flavorful. It's excellent with buttered noodles or white beans, and a green vegetable such as broccoli or asparagus.

RED WINE-BRAISED FLANK STEAK WITH ROASTED PEPPERS, ONIONS, AND GRUYERE RECIPE



Red Wine-Braised Flank Steak with Roasted Peppers, Onions, and Gruyere Recipe image

Provided by á-403

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 TBS vegetable oil
1 pound flank steak
1 medium carrot, cut into large dice
1/2 white onion, cut into large dice
2 garlic cloves, quartered
2 to 3 cups red wine
2 large sprigs fresh thyme
2 tsp kosher salt
1 large red onion, sliced crosswise into 3/4 inch wheels
8 TBS roasted peppers
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp sherry vinegar
4 ciabatta rolls
8 slices Gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. 2. Choose a heavy-bottomed ovenproff skillet or Dutch oven that's large enough for the flank steak to lie flat but is as snug as possible. 3. Add 2 tbs of the oil to the skillet over high heat. Once the oil starts to smoke, add the meat and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until deep brown in color. Remove the meat from the skillet and set the meat aside. 4. Add the carrot and onion to the skillet, followed by the garlic. Saute the vegetables over medium-high heat until they start to brown but are still firm. 5. Add the red wine, enough to come three-fourths of the way up the side of the meat. 6. Add the thyme and 1 tsp of the salt, cover the skillet, and transfer to the oven. 7. Braise the meat for about 2 1/2 hours, until the meat can be pulled apart with a fork. Transfer the meat to a plate to rest and cool. 8. Reserve and strain the pan juices and pour into a saucepan. Over medium-low heat, reduce the juices until thickened (it should coat the back of a spoon). 9.With two forks, separate the meat into chunky strings and roughly cut them crosswise into 2-3-inch pieces. Place the meat in the pot with the reduced juices and coat well. 10. Brush the red onion with the remaining 1 TBS vegetable oil. In grill pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat, grill the red onion (without separating into individual rings) until charred on the outside and slightly cooked on the inside. Place in a bowl and separate into rings. 11. Add the peppers, olive oil, sherry vinegar, and remaining 1 tsp of salt and mix well. 12. Slice the ciabatta rolls in half. Place 1 slice of cheese on the bottom and top halves. Arrange the meat on the bottom halves of the rolls and the onions and peppers on the top halves and place all the roll pieces in the 350 degree oven. Remove once the cheese is melted. Close the sandwiches, cut into halves, and serve.
