Best 5 Greek Flank Steak Recipes

GREEK FLANK STEAK AND VEGGIE SALAD

Steps:

• Put steak in a large resealable plastic bag. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup marinade for vegetables; pour remainder over steak and turn to coat. Seal bag. Chill at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place 1 rack in center position and another 4 inches from broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Toss chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, and onion with reserved 1/2 cup marinade on the prepared baking sheet and spread in an even layer.
• Roast on center rack until vegetables begin to pucker and brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove baking sheet from oven and turn oven to broil. Push vegetables to the middle of the pan. Remove steak from marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off, brush off garlic, and set on top of vegetables. Discard marinade.
• Broil steak on top rack, flipping once, until it begins to char and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125 degrees F for rare or 135 degrees F for medium-rare, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Cover loosely with foil and let rest 10 minutes before slicing steak thinly across the grain. Serve warm steak and vegetables with pan juices over romaine, sprinkled with feta cheese and parsley.

GREEK FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal griller (such as Big Green Egg®) to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate.
• Lay flank steak on a flat work surface. Cut steak from one side through the middle horizontally to within 1/2 inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book.
• Arrange butcher's twine on a plate, enough to cover the length of the steak. Place each string about 1 inch apart. Place steak on top; season with salt and pepper. Lay down a thick bed of spinach on top. Scatter feta cheese, olives, and bacon over the spinach.
• Roll steak up starting from the edge closest to you, pressing filling down to tighten the roll. Tie with butcher's twine.
• Cook over direct heat, turning at least once, until steak is beginning to firm and is hot and slightly pink in the center, 6 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

GREEK STUFFED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Combine first 6 ingredients and set aside.
• Trim fat from steak.
• Cut horizontally through center of steak, cutting to, but not through, the other side and open flat, like a book; place between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap and flatten to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
• Spread spinach mixture over steak, leaving a 1-inch margin around outside edges and roll up, jelly-roll fashion, starting with short side; secure with heavy string at 2-inch intervals.
• Coat a large Dutch oven with cooking spray and heat at medium-high until hot (I drizzle the pan with olive oil, rather than using cooking spray).
• Add steak, browning well on all sides; add broth, wine, water, and oregano and bring to a boil.
• Cover, reduce heat and simmer 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until tender, turning meat once; add additional water during cooking if necessary.
• Remove string and cut steak into 8 slices; serve with cooking liquid.

GREEK FLANK STEAK STIFADO

Steps:

• Cut steak across the grain, slicing on the diagonal (partially freezing the meat helps), to make thin strips about 1 inch wide and 2 inches long.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper In a small bowl, mix cinnamon, oregano, ginger and allspice.
• Sprinkle this mixture over steak strips.
• In a large deep frying pan or wok, melt butter with oil over medium high heat and add steak and brown on all sides, a third at a time so as not to crowd the meat.
• Remove the strips when they are well browned.
• When all the meat is browned, reduce the heat to medium and add the slivered onion.
• Cook, stirring often, until soft and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
• Blend in garlic, brown sugar, tomato paste and vinegar.
• Add the wine and bring to the boiling point.
• Cover and reduce heat and cook for 15 minutes.
• Increase heat back to medium and cook and stir onion mixture, uncovered, until it is slightly reduced and thickened.
• Mix in beef strips and any juices that collected; turn meat gently, coating with onion mixture until heated through.
• Transfer to a warm serving platter and sprinkle with feta cheese and parsley.

STUFFED FLANK STEAK / GREEK STYLE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Lay steak out flat. With a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound flank steak into 9 by 10 inch rectangle, pounding thin ends to 1/4 inch thickness. Do the same if using round steak. I was able to find a large butterflied piece. Salt and pepper to taste. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, roasted red peppers, garlic, oregano, and cracked pepper. Mix until smooth. Spread cream cheese mixture over the steak; leaving 3 inch wide plain border along one long side. Evenly spread spinach and feta cheese over the cream cheese.
• 2. Roll the steak up from the long edge, like a jellyroll. Place seam side down in an oiled baking dish with sides. Rub with olive oil, sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper and garlic salt.
• 3. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until cooking thermometer reaches 145 degree F. or desired doneness. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes
• 4. Place on a serving platter,cut into 1 inch slices and serve warm.
