facebook share image   twitter share image   pinterest share image   E-Mail share image

Flank steak is a flavorful and versatile cut of beef that can be cooked in a variety of ways. When marinated in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, shallots, and other herbs and spices, flank steak becomes especially tender and juicy. This marinade can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknight meals. The balsamic vinegar and shallots add a sweet and tangy flavor to the steak, while the herbs and spices provide a savory depth of flavor. Flank steak is best cooked quickly over high heat, so it is important to use a grill or skillet that is hot enough to sear the steak.

Grilled Balsamic and Soy Marinated Flank Steak image

Flank steak is a perfect grilling meat. It's marbleized with fat that melts while grilling and fills the meat with the flavor of natural juices. If you have a lot of marinade leftover from this recipe, save it in your refrigerator and use it to marinate other grilled meats or chicken; it will last up to one week.

MUSTARD-MARINATED FLANK STEAK

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 flank steak (2 to 2 1/2 pounds)
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup good olive oil
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped shallots (2 shallots)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh tarragon leaves

Steps:

  • Place the steak flat in a large nonreactive dish such as glass or porcelain. Using the tip of a sharp knife, lightly score the top of the steak diagonally in a large crisscross pattern to make what looks like 1-inch diamonds across the steak. This allows the marinade to penetrate into the meat.
  • In a 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together the wine, olive oil, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the shallots and garlic. Pour the marinade over and under the steak until it's completely coated. Scatter the tarragon on top. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
  • Half an hour before serving, remove the steak from the refrigerator and heat a charcoal grill with a layer of hot coals. (You can also set a gas grill on medium-high heat.) Sprinkle the steak with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Grill the steak for about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Place the steak on a clean plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice the steak thin, cutting diagonally across the grain. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot.

FLANK STEAK WITH LEMON SHALLOT MARINADE



Flank Steak With Lemon Shallot Marinade image

This is delicious! It uses Meyer lemons, which I love. If you cannot get Meyer lemons you can substitute 1-1/4 cup fresh lemon juice and 1/4 cup fresh orange juice. I made sandwiches with the leftovers that my kids really enjoyed. I put a little garlic butter on a roll and broiled it a little. Then put thinly sliced pieces of steak on the roll, top with swiss cheese and broiled until melted. From the cookbook Food To Live By.
