LIME JALAPENO GARLIC FLANK STEAK



Lime Jalapeno Garlic Flank Steak image

The unique flavor in this flank steak comes from jalapeño powder - a potent green powder that is literally made from fresh jalapeños! If you can't find it, try using fresh chopped jalapeños for a similar flavor. NOTE: Flank steak is meant to be cooked rare to medium-rare, and will become tough if cooked longer. Don't forget to slice across the grain of the meat. Flat Iron Steak works great with this too!

Categories     Meat

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 lbs flank steaks
1/2 cup lime juice
1 lime, zest of
1/2 cup canola oil
5 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 1/2 teaspoons jalapeno powder (or 1-2 fresh jalapenos, minced)
3/4 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons cumin

Steps:

  • Mix ingredients together and pour over flank steak; marinate for 1 hour in fridge.
  • Remove flank steak, brushing off excess marinade and any pieces of garlic.
  • Grill over high heat until rare or medium rare inside, or sear over high heat in a hot nonstick skillet.
  • You want to make sure the heat is as high as it will go, so the steak doesn't water out and "boil" instead of sear.
  • The grill really works the best.
  • Let the meat rest for 15 minutes, slice thinly across the grain.

FLANK STEAK SALAD WITH FRISéE AND CHARRED PEPPER SALSA



Flank Steak Salad with Frisée and Charred Pepper Salsa image

Letting the hot steak rest over a platter of frisée serves to gently wilt the greens.

Provided by The Bon Appétit Test Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 flank steak (about 1 pound 10 ounces)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 fresh poblano chile
1 Fresno chile or red jalapeño
1 medium onion, sliced into 1/4"-thick rounds
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
3 cups (packed) frisée
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
Ingredient info: Dark-green poblano chiles are available at better supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Latin markets.

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Season steak with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Place chiles and onion on prepared sheet and brush with 2 tablespoons oil. Broil vegetables, turning once, until charred and soft, about 8 minutes. Transfer chiles and onion to a medium bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let vegetables steam in covered bowl for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, line a platter with the frisèe. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak to skillet and cook, turning once, until browned and cooked to desired doneness, about 10 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer steak to frisée-lined platter; let rest. The heat from the steak will wilt the greens slightly.
