SOFRITO-MARINATED STEAK



Sofrito-Marinated Steak image

I found this delicious recipe in the 'Dinner Tonight!' column in the Chicago Tribune. You can marinate this for as little as 30 minutes but 2-3 hours is best. I've included the 30 minute marinading time in the prep time. If you don't have a food processor just chop the vegetables as small as possible and place in a blender with the olive oil and puree.

Time 56m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 onion, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces (cored and seeded)
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces (cored and seeded)
1 bunch cilantro or 1 bunch flat leaf parsley
6 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 lb flank steak, scored on both sides

Steps:

  • For the sofrito: puree onion, bell peppers, cilantro and garlic in a food processor; add olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • Spread 1 cup of the sofrito over the flank steak, working it into the scored crevices of the meat with your fingers; allow the meat to marinate for at least 30 minutes but 2-3 hours is best.
  • Prepare grill or broiler; grill or broil the meat to the desired doneness, about 8 minutes per side for medium rare.
  • Let stand 5 minutes then slice.
  • Refrigerate or freeze the rest of the sofrito to use in another dish- it goes really well with sauteed chicken.

TUSCAN FLANK STEAK



Tuscan Flank Steak image

I've only been to Tuscany once, but I do remember a grilled steak coming off a charcoal fire, which was then sliced and splashed with olive oil, lemon, and rosemary. While I'm sure my version is far from traditional, it's really tasty and the very user-friendly flank steak is the perfect cut.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 4h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup chopped fresh rosemary
6 cloves garlic
⅓ cup olive oil
¼ cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon salt
1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak, trimmed of excess fat
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pinch salt
1 sprig fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Combine 1/2 cup chopped fresh rosemary, garlic, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and set marinade aside.
  • Pierce the steak with a fork 20 to 30 times. Place in a shallow baking dish. Pour marinade over steak and flip to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.
  • Combine 1/3 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon minced rosemary, 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt in a jar. Cover and shake the dressing to combine. Shake again before using.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove steak from marinade; scrape off any chunks of marinade. Discard used marinade. Season steak with salt and black pepper.
  • Place steak on the preheated grill and cook until browned on the outside and red on the inside, about 6 to 8 minutes per side. Place 2 tablespoons of the olive oil-lemon juice dressing in a small bowl. Use rosemary sprig to baste the steak while it cooks. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a steak should read 125 degrees F (52 degrees C) for rare.
  • Remove steak to a platter and allow to rest about 6 minutes before slicing. Cut in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch-thick slices at an angle against the grain. Drizzle with additional dressing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak: Look for a steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick and has good marbling.
  • Marinate the steak for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best: This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing: This will help to redistribute the juices and prevent the meat from becoming tough.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Some popular options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and grilled corn on the cob.

Conclusion:

Sofrito marinated flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The marinade helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor, while the high heat cooking method creates a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Serve the steak with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
