Flank Steak With Cabbage And Bacon Food

HOW TO COOK FLANK STEAK IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• In a small baking dish large enough to hold the steak, whisk together the olive oil, coconut aminos, lime juice, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Add the flank steak and turn to coat in marinade.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to to 24 hours, turning the meat halfway through if possible. (Don't do longer than 24 hours, or the meat will get mushy.)
• Preheat the broiler to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Place the oven rack about 6 inches from the broil element.
• Spray a grill pan on the stove top with oil for 2 minutes, until shimmering. Add the steak, shaking off any excess marinade first, and cook for about 2 minutes per side, until browned with grill marks on both sides.
• Place the pan into the oven under the broiler. Broil for 1 minute for rare, 2 minutes for medium rare, 3 minutes for medium, 4 minutes for medium well, or 5 minutes for well done. Use a meat thermometer to be sure - 120 degrees F (49 degrees C) for rare, 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium rare, 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium, 150 degrees F (66 degrees C) for medium well, and 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) for well done. Steak temperature will increase by an additional 5 degrees when resting in the next step.
• Remove the flank steak from the oven and transfer to a plate. (Do not leave in the pan or they will be overcooked.) Cover and let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.

CABBAGE STEAKS RECIPE (GRILLED OR ROASTED!)

Steps:

• Place the slices of bacon onto a large, cold pan. Place on the stove and turn to medium-low heat. Fry the bacon for 8-10 minutes, until crispy, flipping as needed.
• Meanwhile, cut the cabbage into 3/4-in (2 cm) thick slices.
• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper.
• Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside to drain, leaving behind the bacon fat in the pan. Add the minced garlic and saute for about a minute, until fragrant.
• Let the pan with bacon fat cool for 5-10 minutes. When the bacon fat has cooled enough to not melt the plastic, pour the bacon fat (along with the sauteed garlic) into the plastic bag. Scoop any remaining garlic with a spatula and add it in. Seal and mix well to form the marinade.
• Add the sliced cabbage steaks to the marinade bag. Coat well. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the grill at medium heat.
• Grill cabbage steaks for about 4-8 minutes on each side, until tender and crispy on the edges.
• To serve, top with cooked bacon and parsley for garnish (optional).
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C).
• Grease a large baking sheet well. (You can line with foil or parchment paper if you prefer. Arrange the cabbage steaks in a single layer.
• Roast cabbage steaks in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, until tender and crispy on the edges.
• To serve, top with cooked bacon and parsley for garnish (optional).

GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH BACON BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• Heat a stove-top grill pan or griddle with cooking spray over medium-high heat to preheat.

Season both sides of flank steak with crushed peppercorns, salt and garlic flakes.
• Place steak on hot pan and cook 5 minutes per side for medium doneness. Remove from heat and let steak rest 10 minutes. Slice meat crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• While the steak is cooking, Place diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp. Add vinegar and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes, or until liquid reduces. In a small bowl, add broth and cornstarch, whisking until cornstarch is completely dissolved, and add to skillet. Simmer 2 minutes bringing to a full boil, until sauce thickens. Remove from heat, spoon sauce over steak slices and top with parsley.

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Pull outer leaf off cabbage. Cut cabbage into 1-inch thick steaks and place on the baking sheet. Rub both sides of cabbage steaks with smashed garlic. Use a pastry brush to evenly spread olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle salt and pepper over each side.
• Roast in the middle of the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Carefully flip the cabbage steaks and place 1 to 2 bacon slices on each steak. Sprinkle brown sugar on top. Roast until cabbage is tender and bacon is crisp, about 30 minutes more.

• Remove tough exterior leaves of cabbage; core it by cutting a cone-shape wedge out of the stem end. Shred cabbage into thin strips, and separate the strips by hand. Put in a colander, and toss with about 1 tablespoon salt and the onions or scallions. Let sit for at least an hour, preferably two, tossing occasionally, until cabbage wilts.
• Meanwhile, prepare a grill. Combine garlic, co chu karo, ginger, fish sauce and vinegar in a bowl. Grill steak for about 4 minutes to a side for medium rare (more time or less according to the degree of doneness you prefer), turning once. Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper as it cooks.
• Remove steak from grill, and let it rest. Squeeze as much liquid as you can out of the cabbage, and toss it with 1 or 2 tablespoons of dressing, or more to taste. To serve, carve steak. Place a portion of cabbage on a plate, and top with slices of steak. Lightly drizzle steaks with dressing, and serve. Remaining dressing can be refrigerated in an airtight container for several days.
