Herbed Flank Steak Recipes

FLANK STEAK WITH HERB SAUCE AND THREE CHEESE WAFFLE HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• For the herb sauce: Whisk together the herbs, olive oil, vinegar, serrano, garlic, shallot, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• For the three cheese waffle hash browns: Preheat a waffle iron to medium.
• Toss the shredded potatoes in a bowl with the melted butter, the three cheeses and the salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
• Spray the top and bottom of the waffle iron well with cooking spray. Put a mounded cup of the potato mixture (about 1 1/4 cups worth) in each well and gently pat down. (They will start to sizzle.)
• Close the waffle iron and cook until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy; time will vary based on your waffle iron, but it will take roughly 12 minutes. (Check on them occasionally to make sure they aren't burning.) Use a butter knife or fish spatula to gently and very carefully remove the hash browns. They are very fragile when they are hot and just out of the iron.
• For the flank steak: Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Pat the steak dry and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Grill the steak for about 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Set on a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes.
• Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Divide the hash browns and steak among 4 plates and drizzle the steak with the herb sauce.
