Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp ground dried thyme
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp brown sugar
2 tsp kosher salt
2 filet mignons (8 oz each, 1-inch thick)
2 Tbsp blackened seasoning
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 Tbsp garlic herb butter

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel.
  • Brush olive oil on the filets. Sprinkle the blackened seasoning over the meat and rub in. Flip over and repeat on the other side.
  • Turn on your kitchen exhaust fan. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat for five minutes. When the pan is hot, add butter, and when it is melted, add the filets.
  • Sear the filets without moving for two minutes and turn over and sear the other side.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and place in the preheated oven. Cook the filets for four to five minutes or to 120 degrees F for rare, 125 degrees for medium-rare and 130 degrees for medium. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to ensure your steaks are cooked perfectly.
  • Remove the steaks and place on a platter. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow them to rest for five to ten minutes. The temperature of the filets will come up approximately five degrees while they rest.
  • Top with a pat of the garlic herb butter and serve immediately.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup canola oil, plus more for the grill
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Few dashes of Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pounds flank steak

Steps:

  • Make the marinade: Combine the canola oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, oregano, parsley, rosemary and Worcestershire sauce in a food processor; season with salt and pepper. Pulse until the garlic and herbs are incorporated in the oil.
  • Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak and marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Make the sauce: Remove the steak from the bag and pour the marinade into a small pan. Bring the marinade to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 poblano peppers
2 red bell peppers
1 large white onion, sliced into 1-inch-thick rounds
One 2-pound flank steak
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/3 cup tomato paste (3 ounces)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
6 scallions, white and light green parts only, finely chopped
Kosher salt
1/2 cup pimento-stuffed Spanish olives

Steps:

  • Prepare an outdoor grill for direct and indirect grilling. (If your grill has a thermometer, aim to keep the temperature at about 350 degrees F throughout grilling.) Cook the poblano and bell peppers on the grill, turning occasionally, until completely charred on the outside, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover with a plate to steam for about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, grill the onions until golden and soft, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Peel the poblano and bell peppers and remove and discard the stems and skins. Cut the flesh into 1/2-inch strips and set aside. (Keep the poblano strips separate from bell pepper strips.)
  • Set the steak on a cutting board. Using a long thin knife and starting at the thin, narrow end of the steak, slice it in half horizontally leaving 2 inches of the meat uncut at the wide end of the steak so the pieces stay attached. Open it up like a book so you have one long piece. Pound the steak with a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
  • Arrange the steak flat on a work surface with a long side facing you. Combine the cilantro, tomato paste, oil, cumin, oregano, scallions and 2 teaspoons salt in a bowl. Spread the paste all over the top of the steak. Working in three batches, arrange vertical stripes of the poblanos, bell peppers, onions, and olives on the steak until the steak is covered, leaving 2 inches empty at each end.
  • Roll up the steak like a jelly roll, starting at one of the short ends. Tie the steak closed around the circumference with butcher's twine at 2-inch intervals. Tie one more piece of twine lengthwise around the steak.
  • Put the steak on the direct heat side of the grill and cook, turning, to brown all 4 sides, about 2 minutes per side. Move the steak to the indirect heat side of the grill, cover and cook, turning occasionally, until the center of the steak registers 115 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 25 to 30 minutes for a steak that is well-done on the outside and medium-rare in the center. (Test frequently; the time will vary based on the temperature of your grill.) Let the steak rest about 10 minutes.
  • Untie the steak and cut it into 6 thick slices.

BLACKENED GRILLED FLANK STEAK



Blackened Grilled Flank Steak image

I love flank steak because it's usually one of the cheapest cuts of beef, but it doesn't taste cheap! This is a great way to cook it for serving alongside grilled corn or other veggies. Or, you can serve it in tortillas as fajita tacos, which is what we usually do. From Cooking Light.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs is a good option.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak should be cooked over high heat to create a nice crust and keep the inside of the steak juicy. You can grill, pan-sear, or broil the steak.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: After cooking the steak, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Slice the steak against the grain: When slicing the steak, cut against the grain. This will make the steak more tender and easier to chew.

Conclusion:

Blackened grilled flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can create a flavorful and tender steak that will be sure to impress your family and friends.
