Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

One 2-pound flank steak
One 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
3 tablespoons red curry paste
1 bunch cilantro, stems separated (about 1/2 cup), leaves reserved for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Pat the flank steak dry and place it in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
  • Blend the coconut milk, red curry paste and cilantro stems in a blender on high until fully incorporated and the cilantro stems are very finely chopped. Pour 1 cup of the coconut curry mixture into a large liquid measuring cup and set aside. Pour the remaining mixture over the steak and coat on both sides. Cover the steak and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Stir 1 1/2 cups water into the reserved 1 cup of coconut curry mixture and transfer to a medium saucepan. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and cook over medium-high heat until boiling. Stir in the rice and bring the mixture to a boil once again. Stir the rice, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and drain well on a paper towel-lined sheet pan. Pat the steak with paper towels to remove any excess marinade. Drizzle one side of the steak with about 1 tablespoon oil and use a silicone brush to spread it evenly over the steak. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the steak to the grill pan, seasoned-side down. Coat the top with about 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. For medium rare, grill the steak for 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Chop 1/2 cup of the reserved cilantro leaves. Remove the lid from the rice, add the chopped cilantro and fluff with a fork.
  • Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the rice. Garnish with more chopped cilantro.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds and has a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak for at least 30 minutes will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, cumin, and chili powder works well.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak should be cooked over high heat in order to get a nice sear on the outside and keep the inside tender. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest: Once the steak is cooked, let it 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 sides: Flank steak can be served with a variety of sides, such as brown rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Flank steak is a delicious and affordable cut of meat that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can cook a flank steak that is tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.
