Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 flank steak, about 11/2 pounds
1/3 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon sugar
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Poke the steak all over with the tines of a fork; cut in half, against the grain, to make 2 steaks (1steak may be slightly thicker). In a non-reactive bowl or large re-sealable plastic bag, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire, vinegar, oil, garlic, sugar, and pepper, to taste. Add the steak, and turn to coat. Cover or reseal the bag and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate for up to 6 hours.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Position the rack in the top position in the oven and preheat the broiler. Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry. Cook the steaks, for 5 to 8 minutes on each side for rare to medium-rare. Set aside on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
  • Cut the steak against the grain, on an angle, into very thin slices. Arrange the slices on a warmed platter or plates. Serve.

GRILLED COFFEE AND COLA SKIRT STEAK



Grilled Coffee and Cola Skirt Steak image

Two great drinks equals one fantastic marinade for skirt steak, the juiciest and most flavorful piece of meat you can put on a grill. It's smoky and subtly sweet. The flavors are balanced perfectly with the bitterness of the coffee in the grill marks. I really hope you'll give this a try.

Time 8h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle cola-flavored carbonated beverage
½ cup freshly brewed strong coffee
¼ cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
¼ teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce, or to taste
1 (1 1/4 pound) beef skirt steak - trimmed of large fat chunks
salt to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place garlic into a nonreactive bowl and whisk in cola, coffee, rice vinegar, ketchup, black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, rosemary, and hot sauce until thoroughly combined.
  • Unroll the skirt steak and cut into 6-inch lengths with the grain, using a kitchen scissors. Submerge the meat totally in the marinade; place a piece of plastic wrap onto meat and marinade surface. Marinate 8 to 12 hours in refrigerator or overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  • Remove meat from marinade; save the marinade. Pat meat thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season both sides of meat with salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Pour marinade into a saucepan over medium heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
  • Grill meat on the preheated grill until steak pieces are still pink inside and meat has good grill marks, about 4 minutes per side. Place thin cooked pieces onto thicker pieces of meat to prevent thin ones from overcooking. When the surface of the meat looks shiny and wet from juices being forced up to the surface, the meat is medium-rare to medium in doneness. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a piece should read 125 to 130 degrees F (52 to 54 degrees C).
  • Remove meat to a platter and let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain to serve. Drizzle servings with reduced coffee-cola marinade.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick and has good marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
  • Tenderize the steak: Flank steak can be tough, so it's important to tenderize it before cooking. You can do this by marinating it in a cola-based marinade for at least 30 minutes.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak should be cooked over high heat to quickly sear the outside and keep the inside tender. You can grill, pan-fry, or broil the steak, but make sure to cook it for no more than 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Slice the steak against the grain: When you slice the steak, be sure to slice it against the grain. This will make the steak more tender and easier to chew.

Conclusion:

Cola-marinated flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend cookout.
