GRILLED MARINATED FLANK STEAK
Flank steak, a flavorful yet affordable cut of beef, gets a salty-sweet boost from Michael Ruhlman's wonderful marinade. It also gives the meat a nice charred flavor, with or without an outdoor grill: as the marinade caramelizes, it creates aromatic smoke that infuses the meat, right in the hot pan. (Note: Allow 8 hours to fully marinate the steak.)

Steps:
- Marinade: Into a zip-top bag, add ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, onion powder, ground ginger, and Worcestershire sauce. Trim away the root end of garlic cloves, smash with the flat side of a knife, and discard the peel. Smash again, then roughly chop and add to the bag. Close the bag and mix the marinade. Makes about 1¼ cups. (Marinade will keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator and up to 1 month in the freezer.)
- Steak: Place steak into the bag with the marinade. Press out as much air as possible, seal the bag, and distribute the marinade around the meat. Let marinate for at least 1 hour at room temperature or, optimally, up to 8 hours to overnight in the refrigerator. (Note: If grilling after 1 hour of marinating, reserve the marinade to baste the steak during grilling.)
- If the steak has been marinating in the refrigerator, bring it to room temperature before grilling, about 1 hour.Preheat grill pan (or outdoor grill) to medium-high heat. When grill pan is smoking hot, remove steak from marinade and lay it flat on the grill. Let cook for 4-5 minutes, largely undisturbed, pressing down on the meat to enhance grill marks if you wish. After 4-5 minutes, the steak should be lightly charred and no longer adhere to the grill. Lift and rotate steak about 60 degrees to create cross-hatched grill marks; let cook another 2-3 minutes. Finally, flip and repeat process on the other side, 7-8 minutes. (Total grilling time will be 15-16 minutes.)
- After 15-16 minutes, steak should be medium-rare. Meat should feel firm to the touch at the thickest part (alternatively, a meat thermometer should register 125 F at the thickest part of the steak). Transfer steak to a wire rack fitted over a rimmed baking sheet. Let rest to allow the juices to redistribute in the steak, 15 minutes.
- After the steak has rested, transfer to a cutting board. Find the grain of the meat, then thinly slice against the grain on a bias. Garnish with cherry tomatoes and greens, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil grate. Pat steak dry and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly score both sides of steak with the tip of a paring knife, making shallow parallel cuts (no deeper than an 1/8") about 1" apart and running across the grain of the meat (this will prevent the steak from curling as it cooks). Season generously all over with salt and pepper; let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, toss scallions on another baking sheet with 2 Tbsp. olive oil to coat; season with salt and pepper.
- Whisk mirin, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, Sriracha, and sesame oil in a medium bowl until sugar is dissolved; set marinade aside.
- Pat steak dry again (the salt will have drawn out more moisture) and rub with remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Grill scallions, turning often, until tender and charred in spots, about 1 minute. Return to baking sheet. Grill steak, turning every 2 minutes or so, until medium-rare, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10-15 minutes.
- Thinly slice steak crosswise and arrange on a rimmed platter; drizzle all of the juices that have collected on the cutting board over. Arrange grilled scallions on top of the steak, then pour reserved marinade over. Let sit at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour before serving. To serve, sprinkle with sesame seeds as desired.

Steps:
- 1. With a very sharp knife, score the surface of the steak with 1/4 inch deep knife cuts, about an inch apart, across the grain of the meat. Then go in the opposit direction to make diamond cuts into steak. This will allow the marinade to penetrate the meat.
- 2. Combine the olive oil, worchestershire sauce, thyme & rosemary with other marinade ingredients, then place the steaks and marinade ingredients in a large freezer bag. Coat the steak well with the marinade. Seal the bag and place in a large bowl. Chill and marinate for at least 2 hours, TURNING OCCASSIONALLY or for more flavor OVERNIGHT.
- 3. Brush the grill or griddle iron with olive oil, or spray with non stick cooking spray. Preheat grill to high heat. When grill is really hot, take the steak out of the marinade bag, and sprinkle generously with kosher salt and coarsly grated black pepper. The salt and pepper helps to form a savory crust on the outside of the steak. If you are using a gas grill, cover the grill and grill 4-6 minutes per side. Half way thru grilling on each side, turn the steak one quarter turn to develope diamond shaped grilled marks. It is best to serve steak Medium rare. Well done make it too tough. When cooked to your preferred doneness, remove from grill & place on cutting board & allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes, cover with foil while resting to hold heat in.
- 4. Then with a very sharp knife cut steak into very thin slices, being sure to CARVE AGAINST THE GRAIN as you slice. I like to use an electric knife and can make the slices really thin, that way they are nice and tender.

Steps:
- 1. In a mortar or molcajete, add the garlic, onions, and serrano peppers. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and grind it with the pestle until it becomes like a coarse-looking paste. If you don't have a mortar or molcajete, you could roughly chop in an electric mini chopper as well. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. 2. Add the remaining ingredients, minus the steak. Stir well to combine and taste for salt. Transfer the steak to a heavy plastic storage bag. Pour the marinade over the beef, seal bag and marinate for at least 6 hours. 3. When ready to cook, remove the steak from the refrigerator about 30 to 40 minutes before cooking. Drain off all the marinade and transfer steak to a plate. 4. Preheat heat your grill to medium/high heat while the steaks comes to room temperature. Cook the steak on the direct heat for 5 minutes per side. Move to cooler side of the grill and continue cooking for another 5 to 6 minutes. Remove beef from the grill and let it rest for 5 to 6 minutes before slicing. Always slice against the grain for a more tender cut. It's best to keep a meat thermometer on hand to reach the desired temperature. Steak doneness: rare 130 to 135 degrees F., medium rare 140 degrees, medium 155 degrees, well done 165 degrees.
Tips:
- Use a good quality flank steak. Look for meat that is bright red and has good marbling.
- Marinate the steak for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Preheat your grill to high heat before cooking the steak. This will help to sear the meat and create a nice crust.
- Cook the steak for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. A meat thermometer is a great way to ensure that the steak is cooked to perfection.
- Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and keep the meat tender.
Conclusion:
Marinated grilled flank steak is a delicious and easy to make dish. By following these tips, you can ensure that your steak turns out perfectly every time. So fire up your grill and give this recipe a try!
