Flank Steak With Cheesy Waffle Hash Browns Food

FLANK STEAK WITH CHEESY WAFFLE HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, herbs, garlic, serrano, shallot and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Preheat a waffle iron to high. Toss the shredded potatoes with the cheese, melted butter, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Coat the waffle iron with cooking spray, add ¾ cup of the potato mixture to each well and pat down. (You should hear them sizzle!)
• Close the waffle iron and cook until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes, depending on your waffle iron. Check occasionally to make sure they aren't burning. Use a butter knife to remove the hash browns. Repeat to make more hash browns.
• Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Pat the steak dry and season with salt and pepper. Grill the steak about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Divide the hash browns and steak among plates and drizzle the steak with the herb sauce.

WAFFLEMAKER HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron on the regular setting and spray both sides with cooking spray.
• Squeeze out any excess moisture from the hash browns and put in a bowl. Pour the melted butter over the hash browns, sprinkle with the salt and pepper and stir. Scoop a heaping 1/2 cup of the seasoned hash browns into each waffle section, then top with a generous 2 tablespoons Cheddar followed by a sprinkling of chopped ham. Top the cheese and ham in each section with another 1/4 cup hash browns. Close the waffle iron and cook for 15 minutes on the regular setting.
• Repeat with the remaining hash browns, cheese and ham, filling one section of the waffle iron.

FLANK STEAK WITH HERB SAUCE AND THREE CHEESE WAFFLE HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• For the herb sauce: Whisk together the herbs, olive oil, vinegar, serrano, garlic, shallot, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• For the three cheese waffle hash browns: Preheat a waffle iron to medium.
• Toss the shredded potatoes in a bowl with the melted butter, the three cheeses and the salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
• Spray the top and bottom of the waffle iron well with cooking spray. Put a mounded cup of the potato mixture (about 1 1/4 cups worth) in each well and gently pat down. (They will start to sizzle.)
• Close the waffle iron and cook until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy; time will vary based on your waffle iron, but it will take roughly 12 minutes. (Check on them occasionally to make sure they aren't burning.) Use a butter knife or fish spatula to gently and very carefully remove the hash browns. They are very fragile when they are hot and just out of the iron.
• For the flank steak: Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Pat the steak dry and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Grill the steak for about 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Set on a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes.
• Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Divide the hash browns and steak among 4 plates and drizzle the steak with the herb sauce.
