SIMPLE BROILED FLANK STEAK WITH HERB OIL



Simple Broiled Flank Steak with Herb Oil image

Flank steak is a relatively lean cut of meat but full of flavor. This preparation is low on the fussiness factor: Put your seasoned steak on a preheated broiler pan and cook, no flipping needed. Just be sure to cut the meat against the grain-across, not parallel with, the visible lines of muscle fibers-so the steak will be tender, not chewy.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 flank steak, 1 1/2- to 2-pounds

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack 5 to 6 inches from the broiler unit, and preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan or baking sheet with foil, and set the broiler insert on top of the broiler pan if using. Place the pan on the oven rack, and preheat until hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together 1/4 cup of the oil, parsley, vinegar, garlic, pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Cover the herb oil, and set aside until ready to serve.
  • Stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on both sides of the steak.
  • Carefully remove the broiler pan from the oven, put the steak in the center and broil (without turning) until nicely browned and firm, with some give when pressed in the thickest part, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain, and serve with the herb oil.

SOUTHWESTERN FLANK STEAK



Southwestern Flank Steak image

This flank steak is butterflied, and then rolled into a pinwheel shape, filled with spinach and roasted red peppers. If you ask your butcher to butterfly the flank steak, it will save you time and effort....most grocery stores offer this service at no charge. If you have to do it yourself, use a sharp knife to cut the steak in half, cutting almost to, but not completely through the opposite side to form a butterfly shape. Prep and cook time does not include the 8 hour marinating time.
