(See Below)

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



Chili Rubbed Flank Steak image

Did you know that Christopher Columbus brought the first chili pepper to Europe from the New World? This is Texas style cookin'! You can use a spoon or spatula to put on the rub to avoid getting the spicy rub all over your hands. If chipotles are not available, you can use jalapenos or other red chilis. This is great served with Lone Star coleslaw and jalapeno cornbread.

SHRIMP STUFFED FLANK STEAK WITH BORDELAISE SAUCE



Shrimp Stuffed Flank Steak With Bordelaise Sauce image

This is my own creation. Inspired by Emerils, "Crawfish Stuffed Pork Chops". This is really a yummy and good way to cook a tougher piece of meat, as it's not tough at all once it's cooked. It also makes a very nice presentation when plated up. The times are an estimate. Just depend on how quick you are in the kitchen. lol

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, steaks and chops, main course

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon New Mexico chile powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds flank steak
1/2 pound fresh peeled pineapple in 1/2-inch slices
3/4 pound whole tomatillos, husks removed
1/2 onion (cut stem to root), peeled
2 jalapeño peppers, halved and seeded
1 head garlic, halved diametrically
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
Black pepper, as needed
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the orange juice, chile powder, oregano and 1 teaspoon salt. Place steak in a large glass or ceramic container and coat all over with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  • To make the salsa, light a grill, keeping a small area unlit for indirect heat. Grill pineapple over direct heat until charred on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes a side.
  • Toss the tomatillos, onion, jalapeños and garlic with olive oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Place the garlic over indirect heat, cut-side down, and grill until charred and somewhat tender, 6 to 10 minutes (do not turn). Grill the onion, cut-side down over direct heat, until well charred, 3 to 5 minutes (do not turn). Grill the tomatillos and jalapeños over direct heat on both sides until they are tender and blistered, 1 to 3 minutes a side.
  • When cool enough to handle, peel onion and coarsely chop it and tomatillos and jalapeños. Squeeze the garlic from the peel and mash with the flat side of a knife, then chop. In a bowl, combine vegetables, half the garlic and the pineapple. Toss in cilantro and season with a squeeze of lime juice and salt and pepper to taste.

Categories     Beef     Chocolate     Citrus     Pepper     Marinate     Valentine's Day     Father's Day     Backyard BBQ     Grill     Grill/Barbecue

Yield Serves 4 as a main course or 6 to 8 as part of a salad

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, rinsed and patted dry
1/2 cup ancho chile paste
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Juice of 2 limes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 2-pound flank steak
Lime wedges for serving

Steps:

  • With a mortar and pestle, or the back of a chef's knife, pound or mash the garlic to a paste.
  • Pour the olive oil into a blender, add the cilantro, and blend on high speed to purée. Add the garlic, ancho paste, cocoa powder, and lime juice and blend to combine. The marinade will be thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Trim any fat from the flank steak and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a baking dish and season lightly on both sides with salt and pepper. Cover one side of the meat with half of the marinade. Flip over and cover the other side with the remaining marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • Thirty minutes before grilling, remove the steak from the refrigerator. Wipe off the excess marinade.
  • Prepare a fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
  • Sear the meat on both sides, turning once, over medium-high heat. Then move the meat to indirect heat to avoid burning the marinade, and grill, turning once until rare to medium-rare. Transfer to a platter and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Thinly slice the meat against the grain. Serve with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is about 1 1/2 pounds and has a uniform thickness. This will ensure that the steak cooks evenly.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple one made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs is a good option.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak is a thin cut of meat, so it is important to cook it over high heat so that it cooks quickly and evenly. This will help to prevent the steak from becoming tough.
  • Let the steak rest: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Chili stuffed flank steak is a delicious main course that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and a salad.

Conclusion:

Chili stuffed flank steak is a flavorful and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your chili stuffed flank steak turns out perfectly every time.
