FLANK STEAK WITH PROVENCAL STYLE RUB

Steps:

• Position a broiler pan on the rack closest to the broiler and preheat to high for at least 10 minutes.
• Pulse the anchovies, garlic, Dijon mustard, herbes de Provence, salt and pepper in a small food processor. Add the olive oil and pulse to mix. Rub the paste all over the steak.
• Carefully pull the preheated pan from the broiler, set the steak in the center of the rack (it should sizzle when it hits the pan), and return to the broiler. Cook until the meat feels firm but still gives gently when pressed, 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare. (If your pan rack has preheated properly, it will not be necessary to turn the meat. However, if your broiler doesn't have a high output of heat, turn the meat 3/4 of the way through cooking to finish off the other side.)
• Remove the meat from the broiler, remove it to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Thinly slice the meat, against the grain, set on a platter. Serve warm with lemon wedges.

PROVENCAL SPICE RUB

Steps:

• Grind all dried spices and herbs together in a spice mill or coffee grinder until finely ground. Place the spice powder in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the onion, garlic, mint, orange rind, olive oil and red wine. Mix well. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

HERBES DE PROVENCE STEAK RUB

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container for up to six months in a cool, dry place.
• To use, pat the steak dry with a paper towel.
• Apply the rub generously to the steak, massaging it in over the entire surface.
• Allow the steak to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before grilling or barbecuing. This will allow the moisture of the steak to keep the rub attached during cooking. If you simply dusted the steak with rub right before grilling, you will end up with a well-seasoned grill, not a well-seasoned steak.
• Enjoy! Alternatively, you can season your steak with the rub up to 24 hours in advance, wrapping it in plastic wrap and refrigerating the steak. Herbes de Provence mixtures usually contain marjoram, oregano, rosemary, savory, thyme, and often lavender as well. Various recipes include basil and sage. Usually, the oregano, marjoram, thyme, and savory are in a larger proportion than the other spices. A pinch of this and that from your spice rack can work to make a good substitute. A steak with herbes de Provence rub will pair very well with a baked potato , steamed or grilled vegetables, and a glass of red wine.
