Number Of Ingredients 16

For the Marinade:
1/2 cup palm sugar or brown sugar
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons fish sauce
1/3 cup lime juice
2 cloves garlic, grated on a microplane zester
1 tablespoon Thai chili powder (or red chili flakes)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 whole flank steak, about 2 pounds (see note)
For the Salad:
1/2 cup loosely packed mint leaves
1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
1 small bunch chives, cut into 1 1/2-inch segments
1/2 cup loosely packed basil
4 shallots, thinly sliced
1 to 2 cups mung bean sprouts

Steps:

  • Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until completely dissolved. Transfer to a small bowl, add fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, and chile powder and stir to combine. Transfer half to a small container and reserve until step 4. Add oil to remaining half and whisk to combine. Place flank steak inside a gallon-sized zipper-lock bag with marinade. Press out air, seal bag, and allow meat to marinate, turning occasionally, for at least 1 hour and up to 12.
  • Remove steak from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Light one chimney full of charcoal and wait until they're covered in grey ash. Spread evenly over 1/2 of grate, leaving other half empty. Put cooking grate in place, cover, and allow grill to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil grilling grate , then place flank steak over hot side of grill, cook until well charred, about 3 minutes. Flip steak and continue to cook until second side is well charred, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer steak to cooler side of grill, cover, and cook until center of steak registers 125°F (52°C) on an instant-read thermometer for medium-rare, or 135°F (57°C) for medium, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with foil, and allow steak to rest for at least 5 minutes. Proceed to step 4.
  • Alternatively, to finish indoors: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add steak and cook, turning frequently, until an instant-read thermometer registers 125°F for medium-rare or 135°F for medium, reducing heat as necessary if steak smokes excessively or starts to burn. Transfer to a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Thinly slice beef against the grain and transfer to a large bowl. Add herbs, shallots, bean sprouts, and reserved marinade, and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Tenderize the flank steak: Use a meat mallet or the back of a heavy knife to pound the steak until it is about 1/4 inch thick. This will help to break down the tough fibers and make the steak more tender.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade for at least 30 minutes will help to add flavor and moisture. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or a more complex marinade with ingredients like soy sauce, ginger, and honey.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak is best cooked over high heat so that it can quickly sear on the outside and remain tender on the inside. You can cook the steak in a grill pan, a cast iron skillet, or on an outdoor grill.
  • Let the steak rest: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful piece of meat.
  • Slice the steak against the grain: When slicing the steak, be sure to slice it against the grain. This means slicing across the muscle fibers, rather than with them. This will help to make the steak more tender and easier to chew.

Conclusion:

Flank steak is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. When cooked properly, flank steak is tender, flavorful, and juicy. By following these tips, you can cook a perfect flank steak every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give flank steak a try!
