Flank Steak With Moroccan Spices Recipes

MOROCCAN FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Cut the steak in half lengthwise; slice each piece in half horizontally to make 4 thin steaks. Season with salt and pepper and rub all over with the ras el hanout; set aside.
• Bring 2 cups chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan; add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the couscous and cook as the label directs.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove from the skillet; cover to keep warm.
• Add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and the red onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the olives, orange juice and honey. Cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until slightly reduced, about 30 seconds. Add the remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley; season with salt.
• Stir the tomatoes and orange zest into the couscous. Slice the steak and top with the olive-onion mixture. Serve with the couscous.

FLANK STEAK WITH WARM MOROCCAN SPICES

Steps:

• In a glass measure, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, ginger, garlic, salt, cinnamon, coriander, paprika, sugar, cumin, pepper, and cayenne.
• Rinse flank steak and pat dry; put in a 1-gallon zip-lock plastic bag. Pour in all but about 3/4 cup of the marinade (save remaining for grilled eggplant and pepper salad - recipe#200475) seal bag and turn to coat meat well. Chill for at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
• Lift steak from marinade (discard used marinade) and lay on a well-oiled grill over a solid bed of medium-hot coals or medium-high heat on gas grill; close lid on gas grill. Cook steak, turning occasionally, until browned on both sides and still pink in the center (medium-rare, cut to test) 10 to 12 minutes total.
• Transfer steak to a platter or rimmed board and let rest 5 minutes. Then cut across the grain into thin, slanted slices.
