Categories     Entree

Time 4h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound beef flank steak, trimmed of fat
1/3 cup reconstituted organic orange juice concentrate
1/4 cup snipped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 red and/or green sweet peppers, halved
1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

Steps:

  • Score both sides of steak in a diamond pattern by making shallow diagonal cuts at 1-inch intervals. Place steak in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish.
  • For marinade: In a small bowl, stir together orange juice, cilantro, vinegar, oil, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and crushed red pepper. Pour over steak in bag. Seal bag; turn to coat steak. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours, turning bag occasionally.
  • Drain steak, reserving marinade. Brush sweet pepper halves and onion slices with reserved marinade; discard any remaining marinade. Set vegetables aside. For a charcoal grill, place steak on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 8 minutes. Turn steak. Place vegetables, cut sides down, on grill rack with steak. Grill steak and vegetables for 9 to 13 minutes or until steak is medium doneness (160°F) and vegetables are crisp-tender, turning vegetables occasionally to brown evenly. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place steak and later vegetables on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
  • To serve, thinly slice steak across the grain and cut sweet peppers into strips. Serve with grilled onion.

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: Flank steak is a lean cut of beef that is best cooked quickly over high heat. It is important to choose a flank steak that is at least 1 inch thick to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a mixture of orange juice, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger helps to tenderize the meat and add flavor. You can marinate the steak for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak should be cooked over high heat to quickly sear the outside and keep the inside moist. You can cook the steak in a grill pan, a cast iron skillet, or on an outdoor grill.
  • Let the steak rest: After cooking, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Slice the steak against the grain: When slicing the steak, cut against the grain to make it more tender. The grain of the meat is the direction that the muscle fibers run.

Conclusion:

Orange flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The orange marinade tenderizes the steak and adds a bright, citrusy flavor. The steak is then cooked quickly over high heat to create a flavorful crust and a juicy interior. Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a simple salad.
