Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small flank steak (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons ras el hanout (Moroccan seasoning) or pumpkin pie spice
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups Israeli couscous
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup pitted black olives, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest, plus the juice of 1 orange
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved

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.

Tips:

- Choose a flank steak with good marbling for a more flavorful and tender result. - Use a meat mallet or tenderizer to pound the flank steak before marinating to help it absorb the flavors more easily. - If you don't have time to marinate the steak for the full 2 hours, even 30 minutes will still infuse some flavor. - Be sure to cook the steak over high heat to get a good sear and prevent it from becoming tough. - Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute. - Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or potatoes.

Conclusion:

This Moroccan spice-dusted flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The flank steak is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices, then grilled or pan-fried to perfection. The result is a tender, juicy steak that is packed with flavor.
