GRILLED STEAK AND PAPAYA SALAD
Steps:
- Place garlic, chile, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and oil in a mini food processor and process until smooth. Place beef in a small baking dish, pour the marinade over, and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high. Remove the beef from the marinade and season it with salt and pepper. Grill meat until charred and cooked to medium-rare doneness, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from grill and let rest 10 minutes before slicing into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the shallot, chiles, mint, vinegar, sugar, and fish sauce. Set aside. In another bowl, toss the lettuce leaves and watercress together and then arrange the mixture on a platter.
- Combine the papaya and carrots in a medium bowl. Evenly distribute the papaya mixture over the lettuce. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of the dressing. Arrange the steak on top and drizzle steak with some more dressing. Garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro.

Steps:
- Combine garlic, chiles, and green beans into a mortar and pound roughly. Add the papaya and pound again, to bruise the ingredients. Stir in fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar and pound again. Ad the tomato and pound to combine. Stir in the chopped peanuts and serve.
- If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can make a version of this in your blender or food processor: coarsely chop the garlic, chile peppers, and green beans. Mix in the papaya, and pulse a few times. Mix in the tomato, fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Pulse to combine; salad should still have texture. Transfer to a serving dish and stir in the peanuts.

SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED FLANK STEAK
There are some steaks that need nothing more than a little salt and pepper to bring out their beefy goodness. Flank steak is not one of them. This bold marinade is just the sort of seasoning the brawny cut begs for: lime juice and zest add brightness, brown sugar sweetness, and jalapeño and sriracha a complex heat. Just whiz it all together in a food processor and slather it on the meat. Marinate overnight (or 20 minutes if that's all the time you have) before tossing it on the grill. Lastly, always make more flank steak that you think you want. Leftovers are the best part.

Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse together scallion, ginger, jalapeño, garlic, sugar, lime zest and juice, and sriracha. With the motor running, pour in oil until smooth.
- Season steak with salt. Place in a large bowl and pour marinade over meat. Turn to coat well with the mixture. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- When you are ready to cook the steak, heat the grill to medium-high heat, or heat the broiler with the rack set 4 inches from the heat source. Transfer meat to the grill and cook, covered, until it reaches the desired doneness (about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare), or broil until charred and done to taste, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

PAPAYA-MARINATED GRILLED FLANK STEAK
Flank steak is not one of the most tender cuts of meat. I've tossed enough of the away! The papaya itself not only lends it's flavor to the meat, it actually has an enzyme that tenderizes the meat. Give it a try. You will need to marinate the flank over-night, so make your plans a little ahead for this reason. This is great with a crisp romaine and cherry tomato salad with chunky bleu cheese, and a great wine. If you leave the meat on the cutting board,ve sure to thoroughly wash the board. Another option, which I do, is to have a hard plastic cutting board, which can be sanitized. The marinating time varies, as you may not want to choose the overnight method. I have not included the overnight method.

Steps:

- Using the back of a fork, smash the papaya until it forms a chunky paste.
- Remove 1/2 cup of the marinade and refrigerate.
- Add the flank steak and a generous amount of salt and pepper to the remaining marinade and refrigerate overnight, turning once.
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Remove any excess marinade from the steak and discard. Grill each side of the steak for 5-7 minutes for medium rare. Allow to sit for 10 minutes on a cutting board, then slice against the grain into 1/2-inch slices.
- Serve with the reserved marinade.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to slice the flank steak against the grain. This will help the steak cook evenly and make it more tender.
- Marinate the flank steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the steak absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more flavorful.
- Grill the flank steak over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
- Let the flank steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak and make it more tender.
- Serve the flank steak with your favorite sides, such as spicy green papaya salad, rice, or grilled vegetables.
Conclusion:
This Kiawe grilled flank steak recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy a flavorful and tender steak. The spicy green papaya salad is a perfect accompaniment, adding a bright and refreshing contrast to the richness of the steak. Whether you're grilling for a special occasion or just a weeknight dinner, this recipe is sure to please everyone at the table.
