Bozeman Flank And Beans Recipes

SOUTHWEST STEAK AND BEANS

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from the flank steak.
• Spray a ​4-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or line it with a cooking bag specially made for crock pots.
• Place the onions and garlic in the bottom of the prepared slow cooker and top with the steak.
• Mix the salsa, oregano, chili powder, salt, and pepper in small bowl and pour over meat.
• Top everything with the drained black beans.
• Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours until meat is tender.
• Remove the meat from the slow cooker and cover it. Let stand for 10 minutes, then slice into thin strips against the grain.
• Meanwhile, turn heat on the crock pot to high.
• Return the beef to the slow cooker along with sliced peppers and any juices that may have come from the meat.
• Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 30 minutes, until the peppers are tender. Stir the food gently but thoroughly and top with green onion; serve immediately with the rice. You could also use this mixture to make Fajitas.

FLANK STEAK WITH BLACK BEANS AND RICE

Steps:

• Season steak with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add steak and cook until browned on all sides. Add bay leaves and stock. Reduce heat and simmer slowly until steak is very tender, turning occasionally, about 2 hours. Remove from heat and allow meat to cool in stock. Remove meat from stock and shred it. Reserve 1 cup cooking liquid; reserve remaining cooking liquid for another use.
• Heat olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium high heat. Add onion and saute until golden. Add garlic, oregano and cumin and saute until fragrant. Add tomatoes and continue to cook until most of liquid evaporates. Add shredded meat and 1 cup reserved cooking liquid. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange the beef, rice and beans on a rectangular platter in three rows with the rice in the center (it should look like the Venezuelan flag). Heat vegetable oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into skillet. Fry until softly set. Serve atop beans, meat and rice.

Steps:

• Place the beans in a large, heavy-bottom pot. Cover with 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the tomatoes and frying peppers, skin side up, on a baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes. Carefully transfer the vegetables with their juices to a food processor or blender. Add the hot red pepper. Puree until smooth. Set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the mustard, molasses, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Drain beans, discard liquid and dry the pot. Set beans aside. Place the olive oil or bacon fat in the pot and warm over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the beans to the onion. Pour in enough water to barely cover the beans. Stir in the tomato-pepper puree and the molasses mixture. Cover. Bake until tender, about 1 3/4 hours, adding water as needed to keep beans very moist but not soupy. Add salt to taste.
• Fifteen minutes before serving, season the steak with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Set aside. 10 minutes before serving, place a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the remaining salt to the skillet. Heat until hot. Quickly sear the steak, allowing it to cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side, depending on its thickness and how you like your steak cooked. Remove from pan. Let stand for 5 minutes. Slice and serve around beans.
