Alexas Cilantro Ginger Flank Steak Recipes

ASIAN GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• In a medium-sized bowl whisk together soy sauce, vegetable, red onion, maple syrup, garlic, ginger, cilantro, salt, fish sauce, sriracha, and black pepper.
• In a small bowl add ¼ cup of the marinade mixture and lime juice, set aside.
• Add flank steak to a baking dish or large resealable plastic bag.
• Pour the marinade over the steak, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Flip steak over, cover, and marinate 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Remove the flank steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture from the surface.
• Preheat grill over high heat.
• The chamber temperature should be between 400 to 450ºF.
• Add a small amount of oil on a folded piece of paper towel, and then carefully grease the cooking grid with the oil.
• Once the grill reaches the recommended temperature, place the steak on the grill and close the lid.
• Cook the steak until charred marks appear, 4 minutes.
• Flip over and cook covered until desired doneness is reached, about 2 to 4 minutes. For medium rare (120 to 125ºF) or 130 to medium 135ºF (50 to 57ºC) internal temperature.
• Transfer steak to a cutting board and tent with foil for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Slice the grilled flank steak against the grain.
• Pour reserved marinade over the steak or serve on the side with lime wedges.

SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse together scallion, ginger, jalapeño, garlic, sugar, lime zest and juice, and sriracha. With the motor running, pour in oil until smooth.
• Season steak with salt. Place in a large bowl and pour marinade over meat. Turn to coat well with the mixture. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• When you are ready to cook the steak, heat the grill to medium-high heat, or heat the broiler with the rack set 4 inches from the heat source. Transfer meat to the grill and cook, covered, until it reaches the desired doneness (about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare), or broil until charred and done to taste, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
