North African Marinade for Flank Steak image

This is a recipe I found in my "The Complete Meat Cookbook" by Bruce Aidells and Denis Kelly. Posting for ZWT event so untried by me, but sounds like something we would enjoy. They stated: ""North African Marinade is also excellent for butterflied leg of lamb, lamb kebabs, or veal shanks. The recipe makes enough marinade for a 4 to 5-pound butterflied leg of lamb or 3 to 4 pounds of lamb or veal shank."

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup olive oil
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon saffron (optional)
2 teaspoons harissa (optional) or 2 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 flank steaks (1 - 1 1/4 lbs each)

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients except steaks in a bowl and mix well. (Marinade can be kept refrigerated for 7 to 10 days.).
  • Pierce the steak all over on both sides with a sharp fork or skewer. Place it in a zipper-lock bag or shallow glass baking dish. Pour over the marinade and refrigerate overnight (cover if using a dish). Shake and turn the bag or turn the meat occasionally. Let it come to room temperature before cooking.
  • TO GRILL THE STEAK:.
  • Pat the steak dry. Grill the steak over medium-hot coals in a covered or uncovered barbecue or directly over the flames of a gas grill. Flank steak is best cooked medium-rare and should never be cooked more than medium; the internal temperature should be 130 to 135 degrees F. This should take roughly 4 to 5 minutes per side on a standard grill.
  • Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes, covered loosely with aluminum foil, before carving into 1/4-inch-thick diagonal slices across the grain.
