Grilled Spice Rubbed Flank Steak Recipes

GRILLED SPICE-RUBBED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Mash garlic and ginger to a paste with salt and spices using a mortar and pestle (or mince and mash with a large knife). Pat steak dry, then rub paste all over and marinate steak, covered and chilled, at least 8 hours.
• Prepare grill for cooking.
• Bring steak to room temperature (do not leave out longer than 1 hour). When fire is hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack 1 to 2 seconds), grill steak on lightly oiled grill rack 5 to 8 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
• Holding knife at a 45-degree angle, cut steak across the grain into thin slices.

DRY RUBBED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Combine the mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, cayenne and allspice in a small bowl. Rub the flank steak all over with the mix and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Put the steak on the hot grill and cook 5 minutes per side. Remove and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with Chimichurri Sauce.
• Put the parsley, cilantro, capers and garlic in a medium mixing bowl and toss to combine. Add the vinegar, salt, red and black pepper and stir. Pour in the olive oil and mix until well combined. Let sit for 30 minutes so that the flavors blend.

IVO'S GRILLED SPICE-RUBBED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Clean the flank or skirt steak up a little, cutting away some of the membranes and fat.
• Make a paste of the remaining ingredients and rub the the meat on both sides with this paste. I cut the steak in half so I have two smaller ones and lay them on top of each other, but that's just me, I'm weird that way. Refrigerate overnight in a large, sealed zip lock bag.
• Bring steak to room temperature by removing from fridge 30 minutes before cooking time. If you're grilling it over charcoal (and you should), get it insanely hot and put the steak close to the charcoal for about 2-3 minutes per side to sear it closed. Then move it further away and grill it for a total of about 15 minutes, turning it at least once. When it looks slightly charred and no longer feels bouncy when you poke it, it's probably done.
• SLICE THINLY ACROSS THE GRAIN. Flank steak is a rather tough cut of meat and slicing it this way is very important for "cheery chewing". Serve the meat however you like, but they're quite good in a pita with a bit of lettuce, tomato and maybe a garlic sauce -- sort of like a home-made Shoarma.
