SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Sweet and Spicy Grilled Flank Steak image

There are some steaks that need nothing more than a little salt and pepper to bring out their beefy goodness. Flank steak is not one of them. This bold marinade is just the sort of seasoning the brawny cut begs for: lime juice and zest add brightness, brown sugar sweetness, and jalapeño and sriracha a complex heat. Just whiz it all together in a food processor and slather it on the meat. Marinate overnight (or 20 minutes if that's all the time you have) before tossing it on the grill. Lastly, always make more flank steak that you think you want. Leftovers are the best part.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons coarsely chopped scallions
1 tablespoon peeled and finely chopped ginger
1 fresh jalapeño, seeded if desired, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
Zest of 1/2 lime
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoon sriracha or other hot sauce (or to taste)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds flank steak

In a food processor, pulse together scallion, ginger, jalapeño, garlic, sugar, lime zest and juice, and sriracha. With the motor running, pour in oil until smooth.

When you are ready to cook the steak, heat the grill to medium-high heat, or heat the broiler with the rack set 4 inches from the heat source. Transfer meat to the grill and cook, covered, until it reaches the desired doneness (about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare), or broil until charred and done to taste, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

Tips:

Choose a flank steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has a nice marbling of fat. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
Be sure to marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
Cook the steak over high heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 155 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Sweet and tangy flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The marinade tenderizes the meat and infuses it with flavor, and the high heat of the grill cooks the steak quickly and evenly. The result is a juicy, flavorful steak that is sure to please everyone at the table.
