Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
1 large clove garlic, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 small chipotle chile in adobo sauce, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons molasses
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pounds flank steak
1 French baguette, halved lengthwise and cut into 4-inch pieces
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup grated monterey jack cheese
Sliced scallions, for serving

Steps:

Make the sauce: Bring the balsamic vinegar to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until reduced by about half, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Add the onion and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the ketchup and 3 tablespoons water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook 5 minutes. Add the reduced balsamic vinegar, the chile powder, paprika, mustard, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, chipotle chile, brown sugar, honey and molasses. Simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender or transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce into a bowl and let cool to room temperature. (The sauce will keep for 1 week refrigerated in a sealed container. If it gets too thick, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water.)
Let the steak sit 30 minutes at room temperature before grilling. Meanwhile, preheat a grill to high. Brush the steak with the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Grill over direct heat until browned on one side, about 3 minutes, then turn over and grill until the other side is browned, about 3 more minutes. Move to a cooler part of the grill, away from direct heat. Baste with the sauce and continue grilling, turning several more times, until medium rare, about 5 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and loosely tent with foil. Let rest 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the cheesy bread: Brush the cut side of each piece of bread with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on both sides. Remove from the grill and top each piece with a mound of grated monterey jack cheese. Put the bread on a piece of aluminum foil and return to the grill to melt the cheese. Transfer to a serving platter.
Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Arrange the steak slices on the bread and garnish with sliced scallions.

Time 4h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
1 green onion, thinly sliced
¾ cup vegetable oil
1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak

Steps:

Whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, garlic powder, ground ginger, green onion, and vegetable oil in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the flank steak, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
Remove the flank steak from the marinade and shake off excess. Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and set aside.
Cook the flank steak on the preheated grill until it begins to firm, and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Once cooked, cover the steak with several sheets of aluminum foil, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
While the steak is resting, bring the marinade to a boil over medium-high heat. Pour the sauce over the sliced steak to serve.

Tips:

Choosing the Right Flank Steak: Select a flank steak with a deep red color and minimal marbling. Look for a steak that is at least 1 inch thick.
Marinating the Flank Steak: Marinating the steak helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Use a marinade with acidic ingredients like lemon juice or vinegar, as well as herbs and spices. Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Grilling the Flank Steak: Preheat your grill to high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper, then grill it for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare.
Slicing and Serving the Flank Steak: Allow the steak to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it against the grain. This will help to ensure that the steak is tender and juicy.

Conclusion:

Flank steak is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you're grilling it, pan-searing it, or stir-frying it, flank steak is sure to please. With its bold flavor and affordable price, flank steak is a great option for any meal.
