Akaushi Flank Steak Recipe
Marinade Suggestions (adjust to your taste):
- Classic: Olive oil, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, cumin, chili powder
- Asian-Inspired: Soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, honey
- Simple: Olive oil, salt, pepper
Instructions:
- Marinate: Combine the flank steak with your chosen marinade ingredients. Ensure the steak is fully submerged in the marinade. Marinate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours, in the refrigerator. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful and tender it will become.
- Prepare the Steak: Remove the steak from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. This ensures even cooking. Discard the marinade.
- Cooking Method (Choose one):
- Grilling: Preheat your grill to high heat. Grill the flank steak for 2-4 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium, adjusting the time based on the thickness of the steak and your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate cooking.
- Pan-Searing: Heat a skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Add a small amount of oil (like olive oil or avocado oil). Sear the flank steak for 2-4 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium, adjusting the time based on the thickness of the steak and your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate cooking.
- Rest: Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Slice: It's crucial to slice the flank steak against the grain for maximum tenderness. Look at the direction of the muscle fibers and slice perpendicular to them.
- Serve: Flank steak is incredibly versatile. It can be served as a main course with sides like roasted vegetables or rice. It's also excellent in dishes like fajitas, tacos, stir-fries, and salads.
Tips:
- Don't overcook flank steak, as it can become tough. Medium-rare to medium is ideal.
