Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1/4 cup red curry paste
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 pounds skirt steak, cut in half or thirds crosswise
1/4 cup clover honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sixteen 6-inch flour tortillas, wrapped in foil and warmed on the grill for 5 minutes
Pickled Roasted Peppers, recipe follows
Barbecued Onions, recipe follows
Avocado Crema, recipe follows
1 cup white wine or rice vinegar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
2 roasted red bell peppers, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
2 roasted yellow bell peppers, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
2 Vidalia onion, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
Canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
BBQ rub, such as Bobby Flay BBQ Rub
BBQ sauce, such as Bobby Flay BBQ Sauce
2 ripe Hass avocados, peeled, pitted and chopped
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk the curry paste, canola oil and 1/4 cup lime juice in a mixing bowl. Place the steaks in a large baking dish and coat both sides in half the curry mixture. Cover the steaks and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours.
  • Whisk the honey and remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice in a bowl; set aside half the mixture for dressing the cooked steaks.
  • Heat a grill to high, or heat a cast-iron pan or griddle over high heat. Remove the steaks from the curry mixture and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill the steaks until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides, brushing with the honey-lime mixture a few times. Cook the steaks to medium-rare, about 12 minutes. Remove the steaks from the grill and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing across the grain into thin slices.
  • Place the meat on a platter and immediately drizzle with the reserved honey-lime mixture. Lay the tortillas on a flat surface and place the steak slices in the center. Top with the Pickled Roasted Peppers, Barbecued Onions and a dollop of Avocado Cream. Roll and eat.
  • For the peppers: Combine the white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt and garlic in a small saucepan over high heat. Boil until the sugar dissolves. Remove the saucepan from the heat and cool to room temperature.
  • Put the red and yellow bell peppers and oregano in a medium bowl and add the vinegar mixture. Stir to combine. Cover the peppers and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 2 days before serving. Yield: about 3 cups.
  • Heat a grill to medium heat. Brush the onions with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Season one side of the onions with BBQ rub and place on the grill, rub-side down. Grill the onions until lightly golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Flip the onions over and brush with BBQ sauce. Grill the onions until just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Separate into rings.
  • For the crema: Blend 1/4 cup water, the avocados, rice vinegar and lime juice in a blender until smooth. Add the cilantro, salt and pepper and blend for a few seconds until incorporated. Yield: about 1 1/2 cups.

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.

Inspired by this classic recipe, I decided to see if the same sort of flavors could be turned into a marinade for flank steak. The results knocked my socks off.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: Flank steak is a great choice for this recipe because it's flavorful and cooks quickly. If you can't find flank steak, you can also use skirt steak or hanger steak.
  • Tenderize the steak: Pounding the steak with a meat mallet or rolling pin will help to tenderize it and make it more flavorful.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in the red curry paste, soy sauce, and brown sugar will help to add flavor and moisture.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Let the steak rest 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: Rice, noodles, or vegetables are all great options.

Conclusion:

This red curry flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The steak is flavorful and tender, and the red curry sauce is rich and creamy. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
