Brazilian Grilled Flank Steak Food

BRAZILIAN FLANK STEAK WITH FRESH CHIMICHURRI AND FRIED YUCCA

Steps:

• Marinate the steak with the Worcestershire sauce, pepper and coarse salt.
• Heat a grill or grill pan. Grill the steak to desired doneness. Rest the steak and keep warm for serving.
• In a food processor, combine the cilantro, parsley, olive oil, cumin, lemon juice, a splash of the rice vinegar and some kosher salt. Pulse until just smooth, but still a little bit chunky.
• Preheat a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
• In a bowl, combine the salt, sugar and chili powder. Fry the yucca until crisped, then drain and toss in the spice mixture.
• Slice the steak, top with the chimichurri and serve with the fried yucca.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Make the marinade: Combine the canola oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, oregano, parsley, rosemary and Worcestershire sauce in a food processor; season with salt and pepper. Pulse until the garlic and herbs are incorporated in the oil.
• Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak and marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• Make the sauce: Remove the steak from the bag and pour the marinade into a small pan. Bring the marinade to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to high and oil the grates. Grill the steak 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 to 7 minutes, then slice against the grain. Serve with the herb sauce.
