Best 4 Moroccan Flank Steak Recipes

MOROCCAN FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Cut the steak in half lengthwise; slice each piece in half horizontally to make 4 thin steaks. Season with salt and pepper and rub all over with the ras el hanout; set aside.
• Bring 2 cups chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan; add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the couscous and cook as the label directs.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove from the skillet; cover to keep warm.
• Add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and the red onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the olives, orange juice and honey. Cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until slightly reduced, about 30 seconds. Add the remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley; season with salt.
• Stir the tomatoes and orange zest into the couscous. Slice the steak and top with the olive-onion mixture. Serve with the couscous.

MOROCCAN-INSPIRED FLANK STEAK

• Remove steak from dish and place onto grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes per side.
• When meat reaches desired doneness, remove and allow to sit for 5-7 minutes before slicing.

FLANK STEAK WITH MOROCCAN SPICES

Steps:

• 1. In a glass measure, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, ginger, garlic, salt, cinnamon, coriander, paprika, sugar, cumin, pepper, and cayenne. 2. Rinse flank steak and pat dry; put in a 1-gallon zip-lock plastic bag. Pour in all but about 3/4 cup of the marinade (save remaining for Grilled Eggplant and Pepper Salad); seal bag and turn to coat meat well. Chill for at least 4 hours and up to 1 day. 3. Lift steak from marinade (discard used marinade) and lay on a well-oiled grill over a solid bed of medium-hot coals or medium-high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand 1 to 2 in. above grill level only 3 to 4 seconds); close lid on gas grill. Cook steak, turning occasionally, until browned on both sides and still pink in the center (medium-rare; cut to test), 10 to 12 minutes total. 4. Transfer steak to a platter or rimmed board and let rest 5 minutes. Then cut across the grain into thin, slanted slices. Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.

MOROCCAN SPICE-DUSTED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Light a charcoal or gas grill to medium-hot. Combine all the spices, coriander through cayenne pepper, in a small bowl and mix well. Season the flank steak with salt to taste, rubbing it into the meat well. Sprinkle spice mixture on both sides, cover loosely with foil and set aside for 10 minutes. Brush steak with oil and place, oiled side down, on the grill and cook without moving for 6 minutes. Brush top of steak with oil, then turn and grill another 6 minutes, until medium-rare. Set aside, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes to let juices settle. To serve, slice thinly against the grain.
