FLANK STEAK WITH WATERMELON SALAD



Flank Steak with Watermelon Salad image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/4 cup grapeseed oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon garlic paste
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 2 limes
1 jalapeno, sliced
One 2-pound flank steak
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 cup medium-dice seedless watermelon
4 fresh mint leaves, thin sliced or chiffonade
Grapeseed oil, for frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 small onion, sliced in thin rings and soaked in ice water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the flank steak and marinade: Whisk together the grapeseed oil, white vinegar, cilantro, garlic, salt, pepper, lime juice and jalapenos in a medium bowl. Put the flank steak in large casserole pan, pour over the marinade and marinate, refrigerated, overnight.
  • For the watermelon salad: Mix together the vinegar, honey and sugar in a bowl and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Whisk in the oil and season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes, watermelon and mint and toss with the vinaigrette.
  • For the onion rings: Heat the oil in a heavy pan until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 375 degrees F. Put the flour in a medium bowl. Drain the onion rings completely, and then toss in the flour to coat. Tap off any excess flour, and then fry the onions until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel, and then season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • To cook the flank steak, preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, draining off any excess. (Removal of excess marinade will prevent flaming or charring of the steak during cooking.) Grill over high heat until medium rare, 8 to 9 minutes per side. Allow the steak to rest before slicing against the grain into thin slices.
  • Shingle some sliced steak on each plate. Spoon the watermelon salad on top. Garnish with onion rings and cilantro sprigs.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH SPICY WATERMELON SALAD



Grilled Flank Steak with Spicy Watermelon Salad image

This is so good! The marinade gets a boost of heat from sambal oelek, an Indonesian chili paste, and it's flavored with honey, ginger and assorted spices that meld together and flavor the flank steak quite nicely. Don't pass on the watermelon salad, as it's meant to be a refreshing introduction after indulging in the spicy flank steak. Just be sure to keep the watermelon chilled until just before adding it to the salad, so it's as refreshing as possible. Sambal Oelek can be found online, but it's also available in most Asian markets or the Asian aisle of larger chain-type grocery stores.

SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED FLANK STEAK



Sweet and Spicy Grilled Flank Steak image

There are some steaks that need nothing more than a little salt and pepper to bring out their beefy goodness. Flank steak is not one of them. This bold marinade is just the sort of seasoning the brawny cut begs for: lime juice and zest add brightness, brown sugar sweetness, and jalapeño and sriracha a complex heat. Just whiz it all together in a food processor and slather it on the meat. Marinate overnight (or 20 minutes if that's all the time you have) before tossing it on the grill. Lastly, always make more flank steak that you think you want. Leftovers are the best part.

Categories     dinner, weekday, weeknight, steaks and chops, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons coarsely chopped scallions
1 tablespoon peeled and finely chopped ginger
1 fresh jalapeño, seeded if desired, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
Zest of 1/2 lime
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoon sriracha or other hot sauce (or to taste)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds flank steak

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse together scallion, ginger, jalapeño, garlic, sugar, lime zest and juice, and sriracha. With the motor running, pour in oil until smooth.
  • Season steak with salt. Place in a large bowl and pour marinade over meat. Turn to coat well with the mixture. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • When you are ready to cook the steak, heat the grill to medium-high heat, or heat the broiler with the rack set 4 inches from the heat source. Transfer meat to the grill and cook, covered, until it reaches the desired doneness (about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare), or broil until charred and done to taste, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a flank steak that is at least 1-inch thick. If your steak is thinner, it will cook too quickly and become tough.
  • To make sure the steak is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The steak is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 155 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing it. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • To make the spicy pepper and watermelon salad, use a variety of peppers, such as jalapeños, serranos, and habaneros. The more peppers you use, the spicier the salad will be. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the peppers or use a milder variety, such as bell peppers.
  • If you don't have time to make the spicy pepper and watermelon salad, you can serve the grilled flank steak with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Grilled flank steak with spicy pepper and watermelon salad is a delicious and refreshing meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The steak is flavorful and juicy, and the salad is light and zesty. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
