Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

One 2-pound flank steak
One 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
3 tablespoons red curry paste
1 bunch cilantro, stems separated (about 1/2 cup), leaves reserved for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Pat the flank steak dry and place it in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
  • Blend the coconut milk, red curry paste and cilantro stems in a blender on high until fully incorporated and the cilantro stems are very finely chopped. Pour 1 cup of the coconut curry mixture into a large liquid measuring cup and set aside. Pour the remaining mixture over the steak and coat on both sides. Cover the steak and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Stir 1 1/2 cups water into the reserved 1 cup of coconut curry mixture and transfer to a medium saucepan. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and cook over medium-high heat until boiling. Stir in the rice and bring the mixture to a boil once again. Stir the rice, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and drain well on a paper towel-lined sheet pan. Pat the steak with paper towels to remove any excess marinade. Drizzle one side of the steak with about 1 tablespoon oil and use a silicone brush to spread it evenly over the steak. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the steak to the grill pan, seasoned-side down. Coat the top with about 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. For medium rare, grill the steak for 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Chop 1/2 cup of the reserved cilantro leaves. Remove the lid from the rice, add the chopped cilantro and fluff with a fork.
  • Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the rice. Garnish with more chopped cilantro.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to score the flank steak: This will help the marinade penetrate the meat and make it more flavorful.

  • Let the steak rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the steak with a flavorful sauce: A chimichurri sauce, a salsa verde, or a mojo sauce are all great options.
  • Cook the coconut rice according to the package directions: Be sure to use full-fat coconut milk for the best flavor.
  • Add some fresh herbs to the coconut rice: Cilantro, parsley, or basil are all great options.
  • Serve the steak and coconut rice together: This is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner.
