GRILLED BALSAMIC FLANK STEAK WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS



Grilled Balsamic Flank Steak With Peppers and Onions image

Flank is a flavorful, lean cut of steak that's sliced thin and served. Make the deep, savory marinade ahead of time and let it work its magic on the meat for up to two days in the fridge. It makes party time a cinch, as the steak cooks in just 10 minutes (and this recipe can easily be doubled-or tripled to feed a crowd.)

Time 1h45m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds flank steak, patted dry and pierced at approximately 1 1/2-inch intervals with the tines of a fork
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons ground mustard
2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
3 rosemary sprigs
1 large sweet onion, such as Vidalia, cut into scant 1/2-inch-thick rounds
2 red or orange bell peppers, stems, ribs, and seeds removed, cut into scant 1/2-inch-thick rounds
Crusty bread, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Generously season steak with salt and pepper. In a large resealable bag, combine vinegar, Worcestershire, mustard, brown sugar, and oil. Rub rosemary sprigs between your palms for a few seconds to release oils, then transfer to bag. Add steak, onion, and bell peppers; remove excess air from bag, seal, and shake until marinade evenly coats meat and vegetables. Refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
  • Remove steak and vegetables from refrigerator 1 hour before grilling. Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking. Brush grates with oil. Using tongs, remove steak from bag, allowing excess marinade to drip back in. Grill, turning a few times, until charred in places and a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125 degrees for medium-rare, 8 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness. Transfer to a plate; tent with foil and let stand at least 10 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, remove vegetables from marinade and grill, turning a few times, until charred in places and tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Toast bread on grill just until charred and crisp in places, about 1 minute a side. Thinly slice steak; serve with vegetables and bread.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak. Look for a steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick, with a uniform thickness throughout. This will ensure that the steak cooks evenly.
  • Dry the steak thoroughly. Pat the steak dry with paper towels before seasoning and cooking. This will help the seasonings adhere to the steak and prevent steaming.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the steak. Scoring the steak helps to tenderize it and allows the flavors to penetrate more deeply. Score the steak in a crosshatch pattern, making shallow cuts about 1/4 inch deep.
  • Season the steak liberally. Rub the steak with your favorite seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil to help the seasonings stick.
  • Sear the steak over high heat. Sear the steak in a hot skillet or grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the steak is browned and slightly charred. This will help to lock in the juices and create a flavorful crust.
  • Reduce the heat and cook the steak to your desired doneness. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the steak for an additional 8-10 minutes per side, or until the steak reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing. Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

Onion rubbed flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The steak is tender and flavorful, and the onion rub adds a delicious depth of flavor. Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
