Sunday Dinner
Grilled Flank Steak
Process – Rice Pilaf
-
In a large non-stick skillet, heat to med-high. Add the rice and orzo, toast until golden brown; about a minute and a half to two minutes. Stir every 20 seconds or so to prevent burning. Place on a plate to cool.
-
In a large sauce pan, heat up oil on med-high heat. Add carrots and sauté for two minutes. Add the garlic when there is about 30 seconds left.
-
Add rice & orzo, water and salt. Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook for 20 minutes.
Process – Charred Corn Relish
-
Heat a large, non-stick skillet to med-high heat. Add the peppers and allow it to cook for about 20-30 seconds before giving it a good stir. Continue to char the corn, stirring every minute or so for the next 3-4 minutes. You’re looking for caramelization on the pepper. Remove from the skillet to a cookie sheet. Repeat the process with the corn.
-
Add 1 TBSP of oil to the pan and heat. Add the shallot and sauté 2 minutes. Add the corn and water, simmer until the water has cooked off.
-
Season the mixture with salt, pepper, cumin & thyme; mix. Add the red wine vinegar and stir around. Cook for another minute and remove from heat.
Process
-
In a large bowl, combine the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, honey, and coriander; mix well until everything is well incorporated. Then add the water and stir again to mix in the water. Place the flank steak in the marinade and refrigerate for 4 hours and up to 24 hours; it is best if you allow to marinate overnight.
-
Heat up your grill to 400 degrees. While the grill is heating, remove the steak from the marinate.
-
Once your grill is up to temperature, place the steak on the direct heat portion of your grill. Cook until your desired temperature. It’ll take 6-8 minutes per side to bring it to med-rare. Add 2 minutes per side for medium and another 2 minutes for medium-well. (NOTE – the further past medium you cook flank steak, the tougher the meat becomes.)
-
Allow steak to rest for 10 minutes after cook. Heat up the Romesco Sauce to a simmer while you are resting the steak. When you are ready to slice your steak, keep a few things in mind. You will want to slice it at an angle, going against the grain and as thin as you can slice it. You will want a relatively sharp knife to do this.
-
Serve everything and enjoy!
Note that you can use flat iron steak or skirt steak in place of flank steak for this recipe
