Ingredients

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon shallot, minced
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ pounds flank steak (about 1-inch thick)
3 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
½ pound quality white cheddar cheese (such as Beecher's Flagship)
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 (5 ounce) package arugula
1 drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

Whisk together the 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 6 tablespoons olive oil, Dijon, garlic, shallot, salt, and pepper. Place steak in a zip-top bag, pour balsamic mixture over, seal tightly, and refrigerate, 8 hours or overnight.
Heat grill and add marinated steak. Grill each side of the steak for 5 minutes, turning 90 degrees after 2 1/2 minutes to create a diamond mark on the steak. Remove from grill once internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Brush with 3 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, season with salt, then cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
While steak is resting, grate cheese and slice cherry tomatoes in half. Cut the steak into thin slices and serve over a bed of arugula. Garnish with cherry tomatoes, cheese, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, and freshly cracked pepper.

Time 1h32m

Yield 7 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

Ingredients

1/3 cup fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons lime zest
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chipotle pepper, chopped
3/4 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 (2 to 3 pound) flank steak
1 cup dried black beans, soaked overnight with one change of water
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 bunches arugula, rinsed and dried
2 cups corn relish, recipe follows
1/2 bunch cilantro, leaves picked, rinsed, and dried
6 cups cooked kernels (about 10 to 12 ears of corn)
2 cups diced onion
1 cup diced red bell pepper
1 cup diced green bell pepper
3/4 cup chopped celery
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons mustard seed
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons celery seed
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups cider vinegar

Steps:

Whisk together all of the marinade ingredients. Trim the steak of fat. Score both sides of flank steak in a criss-cross. Put the steak in a deep dish or sealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Marinate the flank steak in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours before grilling.
Cook beans in cold water with 2 cloves of garlic. Add salt, about 10 minutes before the beans are done. They should be tender but not mushy.
Preheat the grill for 20 minutes. Bring the steak to room temperature.
Season the flank steak with salt and pepper. Grill 1 to 2 minutes each side. Allow to sit 15 minutes before slicing it. Arrange the arugula with the beans over top. Then place thinly sliced flank steak and corn relish over top. Garnish with the cilantro leaves.
Combine all ingredients in a preserving pan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Simmer mixture for about 30 minutes until it has thickened slightly. Ladle boiling hot relish into hot, sterilized pint jars leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Seal the jars with new 2 piece lids then process for 15 minutes in a boiling bath. Cool and label jars. Allow to mellow for a couple of weeks before serving.

Tips:

For the perfect medium-rare steak, cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side over medium-high heat.
Make sure to thinly slice the steak against the grain for the most tender results.
Use a sharp knife to cut the steak; a dull knife will tear the meat and make it tough.
Add the arugula to the salad just before serving to prevent it from wilting.
Use a light hand with the dressing to avoid overpowering the other flavors in the salad.
Serve the salad immediately after assembling to enjoy the freshest flavors.

Conclusion:

This flank steak and arugula salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. The steak is cooked to perfection and the arugula salad is light and refreshing. The dressing is simple but flavorful, and the combination of flavors is sure to please everyone at your table.
