While cleaning out the freezer, I found a flank steak this morning. I decided to defrost it and have it for dinner tonight (and tomorrow night and the night after).
When I was growing up, I was always told that you have to marinate a flank steak for it to be any good. How far from the truth that could be. The next time you have a flank steak, try this out:
Get your grill (or broiler if you don't have a grill) hot - between 500 and 550F
(apply to both sides of the steak)
apply a dash of salt (not a lot)
lots of black pepper
cayenne pepper (to taste - I like it hot)
dash of cumin
lots of oregano
After you have the spices on the steak, spray with some cooking spray to help keep the spices on the steak.
Put the steak directly in the middle of the grill and close the lid. Cook for 5 minutes a side.
Remove from the grill and then let sit for 2 to 5 minutes. Cut across the grain of the meat and serve (maybe on a crusty roll with some cheese for the ultimate steak sandwich or with some grilled potatoes).
You'll never marinate a flank steak again after that.
