Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large red onion, halved and sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 red bell peppers, ribs and seeds removed, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 can (20 ounces) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds flank steak (1 piece)
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. If using a broilerproof rimmed baking sheet, set rack 4 inches from heat; if using a broiler pan, set rack so that top of pan is 4 inches from heat. On sheet (or pan), toss onion, peppers, and beans with 2 tablespoons oil, rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Push bean mixture to one side of sheet (or pan); place steak on other side. Rub steak with remaining teaspoon oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Broil, tossing bean mixture occasionally, until steak is medium-rare (135 degrees on an instant-read thermometer) and vegetables are lightly charred, 12 to 16 minutes.
  • Transfer steak to a cutting board; cover loosely with foil, and let rest in a warm place for at least 5 minutes. Transfer bean mixture to a serving bowl; toss with vinegar. Slice steak thinly; serve with bean mixture.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH ONIONS



Grilled Flank Steak With Onions image

Plan ahead. It has to marinate for a day; 2 days is better. Serves 4-6, unless you invite my son. Then you should double the onion and marinade ingredients and substitute a London Broil for the flank steak. Source - a friend of a friend who found it in a cookbook 30+ years ago.

Categories     Meat

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lbs flank steaks
1/3 cup vinegar
1/3 cup salad oil
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 onions, sliced
1 garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground

Steps:

  • Place the flank steak in a sturdy resealable plastic bag. Add the sliced onions, placing them both under and on top of the meat. Mix remaining ingredients to make marinade, and pour over the meat and onions. Seal the bag and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
  • To cook: Heat the grill. Remove the onions from the marinade, place them in an oven-proof dish and bake them (covered) for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees. Grill the meat, turning once. The original recipe says 2" from something called "hot coals". My gas grill doesn't have "hot coals", but I've heard of them -- Take care not overcook it; Medium is overcooked, IMHO.
  • To serve, slice the meat thinly across the grain and top with the baked onions, or at least be honest, and tell guests that the sliced onions are available. Saving them for yourself is not polite.

  • Don't overcook the flank steak. It is a thin cut of meat and cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and chewy.
  • Let the flank steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat and make it more flavorful.
  • Serve the flank steak with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Onion rubbed flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The flank steak is marinated in a flavorful mixture of onions, garlic, and herbs, then grilled or roasted until tender and juicy. Serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!
