Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 c merlot or cabernet
3/4 c red wine vinegar
1/4 c sesame oil
1/2 c olive oil, extra virgin
4 Tbsp garlic, chopped
3 Tbsp fresh ginger, coarsely chopped
3 tsp thyme, leaves (substitue 1 tsp. dried)
1 tsp cracked black pepper
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
2 lb beef flank steaks

Steps:

1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl, whisking to emulsify.
2. Place the marinade in two separate gallon-sized Ziploc bags. Add one flank steak to each bag. Zip bags closed and shake to evenly coat the meat. Then place in a metal pan and into the fridge. Marinate the steak overnight turning several times to evenly coat the meat.
3. Preheated the grill to medium-high heat (375 F).
4. First sear the flank steak on each side, approximately 1-2 minutes per side.
5. Continue cooking 6 minutes per side, turning once.
6. When the internal temperature reaches desired doneness, remove from grill and rest of at least 8-10 minutes under a piece of aluminum foil tented over the top. Resting allows the juices to pull back into the meat before carving.

Tips:

To save time, marinate the flank steak overnight or for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
If you don't have time to marinate the steak, you can still make this dish. Just be sure to cook it for a shorter amount of time, so that it doesn't become tough.
For a more flavorful steak, use a high-quality sesame oil.
Be sure to heat the oil in your pan or wok until it is very hot before adding the steak. This will help to sear the steak and prevent it from sticking.
Cook the steak for a few minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness.
Serve the steak immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Sesame flank steak is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. This healthy protein can be cooked in just a few minutes. It goes well with rice, noodles, or vegetables. Using a flavorful marinade and cooking the steak over high heat creates a delicious and juicy result. You can also experiment with different marinade ingredients to create your own unique flavor profile.
