Garlic Fennel Flank Steak with Oranges image

While this dish may appear to be inspired by Italian or Spanish influences (which it is), it's also a take on one of my favorite Chinese dishes: spicy orange beef. I love to grill flank steak with a highly-flavored rub of garlic, fennel, salt and black pepper.

Time 2h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fennel seed
2 teaspoons salt
4 cloves garlic, crushed
4 sprigs rosemary, leaves stripped and bruised
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 orange, juiced
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 (2 pound) flank steak
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
2 oranges, halved

Steps:

  • Grind black pepper and fennel seed together in a mortar with a pestle. Pour half the pepper mixture into a small bowl and stir in salt.
  • Stir remaining pepper mixture, garlic, rosemary, 2 tablespoons olive oil, orange juice, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl.
  • Rub rosemary mixture over both sides of flank steak, poking mixture into steak several times with a fork. Transfer steak to a resealable plastic bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove steak from marinade; scrape off and discard any excess marinade.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Sprinkle reserved pepper-fennel mixture over steak. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over orange halves.
  • Cook steak on the preheated grill until it begins to firm and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove to a plate to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing across the grain.
  • Place oranges, flesh-side down, on the grill and cook until flesh is golden and caramelized, 3 to 5 minutes. Place steak and 3 orange halves on a serving platter. Squeeze remaining caramelized orange half over the steak.
