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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and juicy after grilling.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the flank steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices is always a good choice.
  • Grill the steak over high heat: Flank steak should be grilled over high heat to quickly sear the outside and keep the inside tender. Cook the steak for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: After grilling, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite salsa: Flank steak is a great choice for serving with salsa. You can use a variety of salsas, but a fresh salsa made with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime is always a good choice.

Conclusion:

Grilled flank steak with salsa cruda is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The steak is tender and juicy, and the salsa is refreshing and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
