SIMPLE BROILED FLANK STEAK WITH HERB OIL
Flank steak is a relatively lean cut of meat but full of flavor. This preparation is low on the fussiness factor: Put your seasoned steak on a preheated broiler pan and cook, no flipping needed. Just be sure to cut the meat against the grain-across, not parallel with, the visible lines of muscle fibers-so the steak will be tender, not chewy.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack 5 to 6 inches from the broiler unit, and preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan or baking sheet with foil, and set the broiler insert on top of the broiler pan if using. Place the pan on the oven rack, and preheat until hot, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix together 1/4 cup of the oil, parsley, vinegar, garlic, pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Cover the herb oil, and set aside until ready to serve.
- Stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on both sides of the steak.
- Carefully remove the broiler pan from the oven, put the steak in the center and broil (without turning) until nicely browned and firm, with some give when pressed in the thickest part, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain, and serve with the herb oil.
BROILED/GRILLED FLANK STEAK
Steps:
- Place steaks in flat shallow dish. Make marinade by combining the remaining ingredients except consommé and cornstarch. Mix well and pour over meat. Pierce meat with meat fork to let marinade enter steak. I usually put the meat and marinade in a gallon sized plastic bag at this point and place in refrigerator. Cover or place in bag and let stand two hours or more ( flip bag once in a while). Drain steaks saving marinade. Broil steaks 3" from heat, over charcoal or in oven broiler. For medium rare, allow 5-7 minutes on each side. While steak is cooking, heat marinade to boiling. Add consommé soup and thicken with 3tbs. of cornstarch dissolved in 3Tbs of COLD water if desired. When steaks are done, transfer to cutting board and slice diagonally across the grain. Serve with sauce.

Steps:
- Combine oil, soy sauce, water, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix until combined.
- Cut shallow slashes in a crosshatch pattern on both sides of the steak, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Place steak in a low, flat dish and pour marinade on top, covering meat completely. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, or overnight, turning steak over once.
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Remove steak from the marinade and place on a baking pan. Reserve marinade.
- Broil, brushing occasionally with marinade, until browned and heated through, about 5 minutes per side. Remove steak to a platter and cover loosely with foil. Let rest for at least 5 minutes. Slice into 1- to 2-inch strips across the grain.

BROILED FLANK STEAK
Adapted from a very old issue of Food & Wine magazine. I haven't made this one in ages - but I recall that it was very good and really not as difficult as it may appear. Use a good, strong, dry red wine in this. I like to use Shiraz, but any hearty drinkable red will do fine. This marinates in a tomato and wine mixture, making it very tender. NOTE: Try to plan the timing so that the marinade has started cooking a few minutes before you pop the meat into the oven, so that they finish cooking at roughly the same time.

Steps:
- Combine tomatoes, broth, wine, onion, garlic, Worcestershire, thyme, and bay leaf in a large resealable plastic bag.
- Poke a few holes into the meat and place into the marinade bag, seal, toss to coat, and let marinade in the fridge overnight.
- When you are ready to start cooking,set the meat bag on your counter and let sit at room temperature 15 minutes, then begin preparing your pan etc.
- Prepare your broiler pan by lining bottom pan with foil and brushing the top with some oil (or spray with nonstick cooking spray).
- Set meat on prepared pan and leave on the counter while you preheat the broiler to the BROIL setting (usually around 500 F)- this will take about 10-15 minutes.
- For the Sauce: Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a light boil over medium-high heat,and let the liquid reduce until it measures 1 cup (takes a while- about 15 minutes).
- Once marinade has reduced, pour it through a strainer set over a bowl (discard the chunky parts)-then pour the liquid back into the pan and set aside, off of the heat, until the meat is ready.
- For the Meat: Once you have started reducing the marinade for a few minutes, begin the meat.
- Set the meat pan under the broiler and cook 6-7 inches from the heat, 5-7 minutes, turn over and cook another 5 minutes for rare, or another 5 minutes for medium, even longer for well.
- When meat has cooked to your liking, remove to a carving board and cover with foil, let sit while you finish the sauce.
- Once meat is under the foil,heat the marinade again,but don't let it boil.
- Stir in butter until it melts and season to taste with salt and pepper (I like seasoned salt).
- Slice the meat against the grain and drizzle with some of the sauce.

Tips and Conclusion
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of steak: Flank steak is a lean cut of meat that is best cooked quickly over high heat. Look for a steak that is about 1 inch thick and has a uniform shape.
- Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or you can try a more complex marinade that includes ingredients like soy sauce, honey, and ginger.
- Grill or broil the steak: Flank steak can be cooked on a grill or in a broiler. If you are grilling the steak, cook it over high heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
- Let the steak rest: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful piece of meat.
- Slice the steak against the grain: When you slice the steak, be sure to slice it against the grain. This means slicing perpendicular to the muscle fibers, which makes the steak more tender and easier to chew.
Conclusion:
Flank steak is a delicious and affordable cut of meat that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With a little preparation and care, you can cook a flank steak that is tender, flavorful, and juicy. So next time you are looking for a great steak to cook, give flank steak a try.
