Grilled Chile Flank Steak With Salsa image

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, steaks and chops, main course

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon New Mexico chile powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds flank steak
1/2 pound fresh peeled pineapple in 1/2-inch slices
3/4 pound whole tomatillos, husks removed
1/2 onion (cut stem to root), peeled
2 jalapeño peppers, halved and seeded
1 head garlic, halved diametrically
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
Black pepper, as needed
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the orange juice, chile powder, oregano and 1 teaspoon salt. Place steak in a large glass or ceramic container and coat all over with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  • To make the salsa, light a grill, keeping a small area unlit for indirect heat. Grill pineapple over direct heat until charred on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes a side.
  • Toss the tomatillos, onion, jalapeños and garlic with olive oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Place the garlic over indirect heat, cut-side down, and grill until charred and somewhat tender, 6 to 10 minutes (do not turn). Grill the onion, cut-side down over direct heat, until well charred, 3 to 5 minutes (do not turn). Grill the tomatillos and jalapeños over direct heat on both sides until they are tender and blistered, 1 to 3 minutes a side.
  • When cool enough to handle, peel onion and coarsely chop it and tomatillos and jalapeños. Squeeze the garlic from the peel and mash with the flat side of a knife, then chop. In a bowl, combine vegetables, half the garlic and the pineapple. Toss in cilantro and season with a squeeze of lime juice and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Grill steak until done to taste, about 2 to 4 minutes a side. Let rest for 10 minutes, then smear the remaining garlic on top. Carve steak against the grain and serve with the salsa and lime wedges.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH SALSA CRUDA



Grilled Flank Steak with Salsa Cruda image

Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 or 6 vine-ripened tomatoes
1 onion, sliced into thick rings
1 large red bell pepper
2 jalapeno chiles
6 to 7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing bread
Gray salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
Gray salt and cracked black pepper
1 flank steak, about 1 pound
4 ounces Gorgonzola, crumbled
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
4 large slices bread, cut from a good, crusty loaf

Steps:

  • Prepare the grill and let it burn down to medium coals. Core the tomatoes and cut an X through the skin on the bottom of each.
  • In a bowl, toss the tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, and chiles with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Secure the chilies with metal or soaked wooden skewers so they won't fall through the grill grate. Place the tomatoes on the grill, X-side down and away from direct heat, with the other vegetables. Cover the grill and cook, turning the onions, bell pepper and chiles to char evenly all over, until the tomatoes have softened but are still firm enough to stand on their own and the onions, bell pepper and chilies are blistered, about 15 minutes. Put the pepper and chiles in a bowl and cover to steam and loosen the skins. Let the tomatoes cool to room temperature. In a large, shallow bowl, combine 4 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, vinegar, oregano. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
  • Peel the grilled vegetables. Cut the tomatoes in half horizontally and squeeze out the seeds into a sieve suspended over a bowl to catch the juices. Finely chop the onions and tomatoes. Return the tomato pulp and any juices from the chopping board to the bowl holding the tomato juices. Seed and chop the chiles. Cut the bell pepper into small dice. Mash the chiles and taste to determine their heat.
  • Add all vegetables with garlic olive oil mixture. Mix well before topping pasta or flank steak.
  • Season the flank steak with salt, pepper, and brush with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Grill, turning once, until done to your taste, about 10 minutes for rare meat (to cook indoors try a cast iron, skillet or bistecca pan). A minute before removing steak from the heat, top with oregano and Gorgonzola. Transfer to a cutting board, drizzle with another 1 tablespoon olive oil, and crumble the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano over the top. Let rest for about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, brush the bread on both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the bread on both sides until brown and crunchy on the outside but still soft within.
  • Carve the meat on the diagonal into thin slices and arrange on a platter or plates, on top of crusty bread. Top with about 1/4 cup of the Salsa Cruda, per slice of bread drizzled over each portion. Serve immediately.

Make and share this Grilled Chile-Lime Flank Steak Soft Tacos With Pineapple Salsa recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Brookelynne26

Categories     Tropical Fruits

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 teaspoon pure chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 lbs flank steaks, trimmed of fat
16 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 small pineapple (3-3 1/2 pounds)
1 small red onion, diced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 fresh jalapenos or 1/2 serrano chile, seeded and minced

Steps:

  • For the marinade: In a small bowl, mix the spices, salt, pepper, lime juice, and oil to make a paste. Place the steak in a shallow dish and rub the paste evenly over both sides. Cover and let marinate for 1 to 4 hours.
  • For the salsa: Light a charcoal grill about 30 minutes before you're ready to cook or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
  • Slice off the leafy top of the pineapple and just enough of the bottom so the fruit rests flat on a cutting board. Slice off the skin with a sharp knife, cutting from top to bottom and taking off as little of the flesh as possible, rotating the pineapple as you go. Discard the skin. Cut out any "eyes" with a paring knife and discard. Slice the fruit away from the core in 4 or 5 slabs.
  • Place the pineapple slabs on the hot grill and grill until the fruit is just beginning to show some browning, 1 to 2 minutes per side, 4 to 5 minutes per side if you want it charred.
  • Let the pineapple cool for a few minutes, then dice. In a medium bowl, mix the diced pineapple, onion, cilantro, lime juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and chile and blend well.
  • To cook the steak: Grill the steak for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or slightly longer for well-done meat. Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Meanwhile, place the tortillas on the hot grill and grill for 10 seconds on each side, then wrap in a cloth napkin to keep them warm.
  • Slice the steak across the grain into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange on a serving platter. Place the tortillas and the bowl of salsa on the table and serve family-style.

Tips:

  • To ensure the best flavor, choose a high-quality flank steak.
  • Marinating the steak for at least 30 minutes before grilling will help tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
  • Make sure to preheat your grill to high heat before cooking the steak. This will help create a nice sear and prevent the steak from sticking to the grates.
  • Cook the steak for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135-140 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
  • Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak and make it more tender.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite salsa and toppings, such as guacamole, sour cream, or pico de gallo.

Conclusion:

This grilled chile flank steak with salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a summer cookout. The flank steak is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and grilled to perfection, then served with a refreshing salsa. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
