BLACKENED GRILLED FLANK STEAK



Blackened Grilled Flank Steak image

I love flank steak because it's usually one of the cheapest cuts of beef, but it doesn't taste cheap! This is a great way to cook it for serving alongside grilled corn or other veggies. Or, you can serve it in tortillas as fajita tacos, which is what we usually do. From Cooking Light.

TUSCAN FLANK STEAK



Tuscan Flank Steak image

I've only been to Tuscany once, but I do remember a grilled steak coming off a charcoal fire, which was then sliced and splashed with olive oil, lemon, and rosemary. While I'm sure my version is far from traditional, it's really tasty and the very user-friendly flank steak is the perfect cut.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 4h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup chopped fresh rosemary
6 cloves garlic
⅓ cup olive oil
¼ cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon salt
1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak, trimmed of excess fat
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pinch salt
1 sprig fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Combine 1/2 cup chopped fresh rosemary, garlic, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and set marinade aside.
  • Pierce the steak with a fork 20 to 30 times. Place in a shallow baking dish. Pour marinade over steak and flip to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.
  • Combine 1/3 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon minced rosemary, 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt in a jar. Cover and shake the dressing to combine. Shake again before using.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove steak from marinade; scrape off any chunks of marinade. Discard used marinade. Season steak with salt and black pepper.
  • Place steak on the preheated grill and cook until browned on the outside and red on the inside, about 6 to 8 minutes per side. Place 2 tablespoons of the olive oil-lemon juice dressing in a small bowl. Use rosemary sprig to baste the steak while it cooks. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a steak should read 125 degrees F (52 degrees C) for rare.
  • Remove steak to a platter and allow to rest about 6 minutes before slicing. Cut in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch-thick slices at an angle against the grain. Drizzle with additional dressing.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to slice the flank steak against the grain. This will help tenderize the meat and make it more flavorful.
  • Marinating the flank steak is essential for adding flavor and moisture. Be sure to use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to help break down the tough fibers in the meat.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the flank steak, you can still tenderize it by pounding it with a meat mallet.
  • When grilling the flank steak, be sure to cook it over high heat so that it develops a nice crust. However, don't overcook it, or it will become tough.
  • Let the flank steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Brazilian grilled flank steak is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook flank steak, be sure to try this recipe.
