FLANK STEAK WITH BALSAMIC BARBECUE SAUCE



Flank Steak With Balsamic Barbecue Sauce image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 cups balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
1 large clove garlic, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 small chipotle chile in adobo sauce, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons molasses
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pounds flank steak
1 French baguette, halved lengthwise and cut into 4-inch pieces
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup grated monterey jack cheese
Sliced scallions, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Bring the balsamic vinegar to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until reduced by about half, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Add the onion and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the ketchup and 3 tablespoons water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook 5 minutes. Add the reduced balsamic vinegar, the chile powder, paprika, mustard, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, chipotle chile, brown sugar, honey and molasses. Simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender or transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce into a bowl and let cool to room temperature. (The sauce will keep for 1 week refrigerated in a sealed container. If it gets too thick, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water.)
  • Let the steak sit 30 minutes at room temperature before grilling. Meanwhile, preheat a grill to high. Brush the steak with the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Grill over direct heat until browned on one side, about 3 minutes, then turn over and grill until the other side is browned, about 3 more minutes. Move to a cooler part of the grill, away from direct heat. Baste with the sauce and continue grilling, turning several more times, until medium rare, about 5 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and loosely tent with foil. Let rest 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the cheesy bread: Brush the cut side of each piece of bread with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on both sides. Remove from the grill and top each piece with a mound of grated monterey jack cheese. Put the bread on a piece of aluminum foil and return to the grill to melt the cheese. Transfer to a serving platter.
  • Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Arrange the steak slices on the bread and garnish with sliced scallions.

MEAT ON A STICK (FLANK STEAK)



Meat on a Stick (Flank Steak) image

These are my daughter's favorite thing to eat for dinner, and she is a very picky eater. It always seems I have to taste test (my excuse) these right off the grill. They are that good that you just can't wait to eat them. I use -Mr. Yoshida's original gourmet sweet & savory marinade and cooking sauce- for the marinade. It's not just great on flank either. I am going to add another recipe that I use with that stuff soon. The only place I have found it is at Costco. It's definitely a must have in this house. Another good marinade sauce is Kikkoman teriyaki with green onions and garlic. They also have a ginger one. Yum!

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 flank steak
20 skewers
1 1/2 cups mr. yoshida's original gourmet sweet & savory marinade, Yoshida gourmet sauce

Steps:

  • Soak wooden skewers for about an hour.
  • Cut flank steak into half inch strips going with the grain. They will be long so you can cut those in half.
  • Put cut up flank into a bowl or reseal able plastic freezer bag; add marinade and let soak about an hour or two.
  • Skewer meat.
  • You can also add vegetables or peppers to any extra skewers. Spray vegetables with a little oil.
  • Preheat grill on medium heat.
  • Cook for about 8-10 minutes on each side or until they get good grill marks. I always taste test them. :P be sure to let them cool down a little if you decide to do the taste test. They should have no pink and have kind of soft beef jerky like chew. Oh gosh they are so good!
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To ensure a tender and flavorful steak, opt for a flank steak that is at least 1 1/2 inches thick. Thinner steaks tend to dry out quickly on the grill.
  • Marinating the steak for at least 30 minutes, but up to overnight, helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. A simple marinade made with olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and herbs is a great option.
  • When grilling the steak, cook it over medium-high heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-well.
  • Letting the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing helps the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled flank steak is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. By following these tips, you can ensure that your steak is cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The savory secret sauce adds an extra layer of richness and complexity that will make your taste buds sing. Whether you're a seasoned griller or a beginner, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household.
