CHILI-STUFFED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Flank steak is a budget-friendly cut of beef that can be grilled like more expensive steaks because you tenderize the meat as you slice it. To save time, ask the butcher at the store to cut a pocket in the flank steak for you. Then, just stuff it with some canned chili and diced green chilies, rub it with a little chili powder, and brush it with some barbeque sauce right before it's done grilling. Once grilled, cut the steak in thin slices against the grain and you will have a hearty main dish that melts in the mouth. Note: use a little bit of vegetable or canola oil to rub on the surface of the steak before you grill to keep it from sticking. Ingredients: 1 1/4 pounds lean flank steak (about 1/2-inch thick), pocket cut 1 can (14.5 oz) chili with beans, drained 1/4 cup canned diced green chilies 2 teaspoons canola or vegetable oil 2 teaspoons chili powder 1 cup low sodium barbecue sauce Preparation Time: Approximately 5 minutes Cook Time: Approximately 10 minutes Preparation: Heat a grill to high heat. Place the flank steak on a sheet of heavy duty foil and fill the pocket of the flank steak with chili and diced chilies. Secure the opening of the flank steak with a skewer. Rub the surface of the steak with a thin film of oil (about 2 teaspoons) and season with the chili powder. Clean the grill grate with a metal brush and rub with oil. Put the steak on the grill, cover, and grill to medium-rare, about 8 minutes, turning once halfway through. Coat the flank steak with barbecue sauce and grill another minute on each side. Remove skewer, and cut flank steak in thin slices against the grain and serve. Servings: 4

CHILI- RUBBED FLANK STEAK

Rub the paste all over the steak. Marinade at room temperature for at least 2 hours. If refrigerating, can leave overnight but bring to room temp before cooking. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Grill the steak over a medium-high fire for 10 minutes, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 125° to 130° for medium rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut the steak across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the meat on a platter. Squeeze 2 lime wedges over the steak slices, then top with the shredded cheese and cilantro. Serve with the warm tortillas.

GRILLED CHILI-LIME FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Prepare a flank steak for the charcoal or gas grill: About an hour before cooking .place a flank steak into a shallow glass casserole dish and brush ¾ cup of AMERICAN SPOON® Chili-Lime Grilling Sauce over both sides. Using a sharp fork, make small punctures in the surface area of both sides of the meat to allow the sauce to penetrate and tenderize the steak, then let stand in the grilling sauce at room temperature for approximately 45 minutes. Remove flank steak from the sauce, place on a medium hot grill and cook a couple of minutes on each side, turning only once, until an internal temperature of 120°F is reached on a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat. Remove from heat onto a platter and let stand for several minutes. While steak is cooking and/or cooling, pour the Chili Lime Grilling Sauce used as marinade into a small heavy-bottom, sauce or sauté pan and bring to boil, simmering for at least one minute. Turn off the heat and swirl one tablespoon of butter into the sauce. Finally, stir the meat juices (from the platter holding the cooked steak) into the sauce. Cut the flank steak into ½" thick slices, and dress each serving with a tablespoon of the cooked sauce. Tip: Any leftover sauce can be blended with equal amounts of mayonnaise and sour cream and refrigerated for later use as a delicious sandwich spread or dip.
