Provided by Vered DeLeeuw

Categories     Main Course

Time 28m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack 6 inches below the broiler unit (so not directly below). Preheat the broiler on high (550°F).
  • Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place it in the oven and allow it to heat up for about 5 minutes while you prepare the meat for broiling.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  • Unfold the flank steak and place it on a cutting board or another work surface. Examine it and locate the meat fibers - later, when it's cooked, you'll want to cut across them.
  • Rub the meat all over with the olive oil rub.
  • Carefully, using oven mitts, remove the hot pan from the oven. Place the steak in the pan. Place the pan in the oven and broil until the steak is browned, about 8 minutes for medium-rare.*
  • Remove the steak to a cutting board. Loosely cover it with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Slice the meat thinly against the grain, as shown in the video below. Serve immediately.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 32m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 flank steak (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Extra-virgin olive oil, for rubbing steak pluse 1 tablespoon
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 ripe medium tomatoes
1 bunch scallions, trimmed
8 whole garlic cloves, unpeeled
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic or red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Toasted crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Position a broiler pan on the rack closest to the broiler and preheat to high. Rub the steak lightly with some olive oil and sprinkle with the herbes de Provence and salt and pepper, to taste. Put the whole tomatoes, scallions, and garlic cloves in a large bowl, drizzle with about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Turn the vegetables until they are lightly coated.
  • Carefully lay the steak in the center of the hot pan, arrange the vegetables around it, and broil until the steak is brown but still tender to the touch and the vegetables are charred, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn the steak and the vegetables and broil another 5 to 6 minutes, until the steak is medium rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted crosswise into the side of the steak registers 130 degrees F) and vegetables are charred. Transfer the steak and vegetables to a cutting board.
  • For the relish: Core the tomatoes, squeeze the garlic cloves from their skins, and chop them both with the scallions to make a chunky relish. Transfer the vegetables and all their juices to a bowl and stir in the remaining 1/4 cup or so of the olive oil, the vinegar, and the Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Slice the meat against the grain and on an angle, transfer to a plate or platter, and serve with the relish and toasted bread.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH WORCESTERSHIRE BUTTER



Grilled Flank Steak With Worcestershire Butter image

Grilled steak covered in melting herb butter is a cornerstone of summer cooking. Here, both the steak and the compound butter are spiked with Worcestershire sauce, fresh thyme and garlic for an intensely brawny flavor. Then, the steak is garnished with a mix of charred tomatoes, scallions and basil, which gives everything a juicy sweetness brightened with lemon. You can use any cut of beef here; the flank steak has a deeply mineral taste and chewy texture that's at its best sliced thin. But rib-eye, skirt steak and sirloin also work; just be sure to adjust the cooking time for thinner or thicker pieces.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     meat, main course

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 pounds flank steak
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 thyme sprigs
3 garlic cloves, finely grated or mashed to a paste
1 jalapeño, minced
2 tablespoons minced chives, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon coconut palm sugar or dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus more as needed
3 ripe plum tomatoes
Extra-virgin olive oil
3 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
Handful of torn fresh basil, plus more for serving
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), softened
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon minced chives
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 garlic clove, grated or mashed to a paste
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Season steak all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In a bowl or resealable bag, combine thyme, garlic, jalapeño, chives, Worcestershire sauce, sugar and lemon juice. Add meat and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Prepare the Worcestershire butter: In a bowl, mash together the butter, thyme, chives, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the butter onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, form into a log and wrap well. Chill for at least 2 hours before using.
  • Light the grill or heat the broiler, arranging the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Grill tomatoes, or broil them on a rimmed baking pan, turning them, until charred on all sides, about 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to cool.
  • Brush off any pieces of marinade clinging to the steak, pat steak dry and coat it lightly with oil. Grill or broil steak until it reaches desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare (125 degrees).

BROILED FLANK STEAK



Broiled Flank Steak image

Adapted from a very old issue of Food & Wine magazine. I haven't made this one in ages - but I recall that it was very good and really not as difficult as it may appear. Use a good, strong, dry red wine in this. I like to use Shiraz, but any hearty drinkable red will do fine. This marinates in a tomato and wine mixture, making it very tender. NOTE: Try to plan the timing so that the marinade has started cooking a few minutes before you pop the meat into the oven, so that they finish cooking at roughly the same time.

Categories     Steak

Time P1DT15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 lbs flank steaks, trimmed of all visable fat
1 (14 ounce) can Italian-style crushed tomatoes
1 1/2 cups beef broth
3/4 cup dry red wine (such as Shiraz)
1 large onion, halved,thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine tomatoes, broth, wine, onion, garlic, Worcestershire, thyme, and bay leaf in a large resealable plastic bag.
  • Poke a few holes into the meat and place into the marinade bag, seal, toss to coat, and let marinade in the fridge overnight.
  • When you are ready to start cooking,set the meat bag on your counter and let sit at room temperature 15 minutes, then begin preparing your pan etc.
  • Prepare your broiler pan by lining bottom pan with foil and brushing the top with some oil (or spray with nonstick cooking spray).
  • Set meat on prepared pan and leave on the counter while you preheat the broiler to the BROIL setting (usually around 500 F)- this will take about 10-15 minutes.
  • For the Sauce: Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a light boil over medium-high heat,and let the liquid reduce until it measures 1 cup (takes a while- about 15 minutes).
  • Once marinade has reduced, pour it through a strainer set over a bowl (discard the chunky parts)-then pour the liquid back into the pan and set aside, off of the heat, until the meat is ready.
  • For the Meat: Once you have started reducing the marinade for a few minutes, begin the meat.
  • Set the meat pan under the broiler and cook 6-7 inches from the heat, 5-7 minutes, turn over and cook another 5 minutes for rare, or another 5 minutes for medium, even longer for well.
  • When meat has cooked to your liking, remove to a carving board and cover with foil, let sit while you finish the sauce.
  • Once meat is under the foil,heat the marinade again,but don't let it boil.
  • Stir in butter until it melts and season to taste with salt and pepper (I like seasoned salt).
  • Slice the meat against the grain and drizzle with some of the sauce.
