Time 2h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fennel seed
2 teaspoons salt
4 cloves garlic, crushed
4 sprigs rosemary, leaves stripped and bruised
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 orange, juiced
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 (2 pound) flank steak
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
2 oranges, halved

Steps:

  • Grind black pepper and fennel seed together in a mortar with a pestle. Pour half the pepper mixture into a small bowl and stir in salt.
  • Stir remaining pepper mixture, garlic, rosemary, 2 tablespoons olive oil, orange juice, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl.
  • Rub rosemary mixture over both sides of flank steak, poking mixture into steak several times with a fork. Transfer steak to a resealable plastic bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove steak from marinade; scrape off and discard any excess marinade.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Sprinkle reserved pepper-fennel mixture over steak. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over orange halves.
  • Cook steak on the preheated grill until it begins to firm and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove to a plate to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing across the grain.
  • Place oranges, flesh-side down, on the grill and cook until flesh is golden and caramelized, 3 to 5 minutes. Place steak and 3 orange halves on a serving platter. Squeeze remaining caramelized orange half over the steak.

Tips:

  • To easily remove the fennel fronds, hold the bulb upside down and whack it on a hard surface.
  • To butterfly the flank steak, slice it in half lengthwise, stopping about 1 inch from the bottom. Then, open it up like a book.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the flank steak in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it against the grain.
  • For the best flavor, use fresh oranges. If you only have bottled orange juice, add a tablespoon of orange zest to the marinade.

This garlic fennel flank steak with oranges is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The flank steak is marinated in a flavorful mixture of garlic, fennel, oranges, and olive oil, then grilled to perfection. The result is a tender and juicy steak with a slightly sweet and tangy flavor. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
