"Flank steak has a large surface area, which means you get more of a Maillard reaction -- that?s a fancy term for browning -- and more flavor," says Guy.

FLANK STEAK AND RED ONION



Flank Steak and Red Onion image

Caramelize an onion on the grill and pile the slices atop steak for a slightly sweeter take on a summertime favorite.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 flank steak (about 1 pound)
Extra-virgin olive oil, for rubbing and drizzling
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large red onion, peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick

Steps:

  • Heat grill to high. Rub both sides of steak with oil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, drizzle onion slices with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side.
  • Thinly slice meat across the grain, and serve topped with grilled onion.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak: Look for a steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of tequila, lime juice, garlic, and spices helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Grill the steak over high heat: This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: Allowing the steak to rest for a few minutes before slicing helps the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the steak with pickled red onions: The pickled red onions add a tangy and refreshing flavor to the steak.
  • Garnish the steak with fresh cilantro: The cilantro adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.

Conclusion:

Tequila lime flank steak with pickled red onions is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The steak is marinated in a flavorful mixture of tequila, lime juice, garlic, and spices, then grilled over high heat until charred and juicy. The pickled red onions add a tangy and refreshing flavor to the steak, while the fresh cilantro adds a pop of color and freshness. Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
