Time 3h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 fresh lemon
1 fresh lime
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
3 garlic cloves, lightly crushed with the side of a knife blade and quartered
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, stripped from about 2 or 3 sprigs
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, stripped from 3 or 4 sprigs
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 pounds flank steak
1/2 cup barbecue sauce of your choice
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
1 red onion, minced
1 cup white mushrooms (about 3 ounces), cleaned and sliced
1 cup dry red wine
1 cup water
1 teaspoon beef base
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Microwave lemon and lime in a small bowl to release essential oils and set aside until they are cool enough to handle.
  • Add soy sauce and vinegar to blender, replace lid and turn on blender. Through the feed opening add, 1 at a time, the garlic, ground cloves, rosemary, thyme, and black pepper. Halve lemon and lime and leaving the blender running, squeeze juice from each through the feed opening.
  • Place flank steak in a nonreactive container, add marinade and coat steak. Pour barbecue sauce over and spread to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Heat grill and sear each side of steak. Cook to your desired level of doneness and transfer to a cutting board to let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Heat grapeseed oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until translucent, then add mushrooms and saute until they begin to give up their juices. Add red wine and allow most of it to evaporate. In a small bowl, whisk together water and beef base and add to pan. Allow to reduce by half. Season with salt and pepper to taste, remove from heat and keep warm.
  • Slice steak on the bias into 1/4-inch thick strips and arrange on plate. Spoon mushroom onion sauce over.

FLANK STEAK WITH CRISPY POLENTA AND ROASTED SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE



Flank Steak with Crispy Polenta and Roasted Shallot Vinaigrette image

Provided by Charlie Trotter

Categories     Beef     High Fiber     Steak     Cornmeal     Winter     Shallot

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 shallots, peeled
1 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1/4 cup butter
2 cups cooked polenta, hot
4 4-ounce pieces flank steak
10 springs thyme

Steps:

  • Method
  • To prepare the vinaigrette: Place the shallots and 3/4 cup of the olive oil in a small ovenproof pan and cover tightly. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the shallots are soft. Let the shallots cool in the olive oil, and then remove, reserving the oil. Julienne the shallots and put them in a bowl. Add the balsamic vinegar and slowly whisk in the reserved olive oil. Add the chopped chives and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • To prepare the polenta: Cook the garlic in 3 tablespoons of butter for 1 minute. Fold into the polenta and season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread the polenta into a 1/2-inch thick layer on a small sheet pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours. Cut the polenta into four 3-inch discs and sauté in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a hot, nonstick pan for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Blot on paper towels.
  • To prepare the steak: Season the steak with salt and pepper and rub with 1/4 cup olive oil. Remove the thyme leaves from the stems and rub them onto the beef. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until medium-rare.
  • Assembly
  • Place a piece of the polenta in the center of each plate and top with a piece of the steak. Spoon the Roasted Shallot Vinaigrette over the steak and around the plates and top with freshly ground black pepper.
  • Wine Notes
  • The warm garlic flavors in the polenta mesh beautifully with Italian varietals. The rich fruit of Barbera d'Alba from a producer like Giacomo Conterno beautifully balances the garlic, and has the full acidity needed for the shallot vinaigrette.
