What is the best way to cook a flank steak?

Answer 1

I've tried lots of ways, including a coke marinade :P and this was simply the best!

Perfect Flank steak (London Broil)

Ingredients:
1 1/2- 2 pound flank steak
soya sauce (Japanese style)
sumac (powdered)
Mesquite fire

Directions:

Put whole flank steak into a shallow pan the bottom of which has 1/8-inch of Japanese style light soya sauce (Kikkoman is perfect for this). Cover the top of the meat with more soya sauce. Let stand (turning several times) in the marinade for 15-20 minutes but no longer as it begins to cook the meat.

Have ready a mesquite charcoal fire going in a barbecue grill. Make sure there are enough embers to produce flames from the charcoal. Toss the flank steak on the grill and cook for 4 minutes on each side (this has to be adjusted with meat thickness). The meat should be cooked rare but should be nice and seared on the outside.

Slice the meat across the grain at a sharp angle and in thin slices. Layer the pieces on the plate so the red center of each piece shows. Sprinkle a tablespoon of sumac over the slices. Sumac is a lemon-flavored Middle Eastern spice found at International grocers. It’s not critical to the success of this dish, but it’s a great flourish.

This dish can also be accomplished under a good broiler but never picks up the wood flavors and it is more difficult to sear. You need a hot temperature to make the recipe work. When you start to nail this recipe, it’s exceptionally spectacular. It takes a couple of shots to get it down. I’ve seen variations on the presentation where the meat is topped with chimichurra or placed on top of a mixture of crushed tomatoes, garlic and basil. Whatever is done, the marinade/cooking process is the most critical aspect of this dish.

This goes well with a salad and a good rice dish.

Answer 2

Grill quickly over a direct-high fire. Marinating or seasoning with a rub and then spraying lightly with Pam for Grilling are also excellent. Then slice into thin strips across the grain of the meat.

Many recipies recommend allowing flank steak to stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling, and allowing it to rest for 5 minutes before cutting.

An instant examine thermometer ought to be at one hundred forty five to a hundred and fifty levels F. eliminate the steak from the warmth, conceal, and enable stand for 5 minutes to enable the juices redistribute.

Oh my, make sure that you marinate it at least overnight before you grill it. You also want to make sure that you cut it against the grain of the meat. It will be nice and tender this way for you.

Answer 5

Grill it and serve it with a Chimichurri sauce (argentinian sauce) and your favorite red wine. Does not get any better. Do not spoil it by marinating it, the natural flavor is perfect.
