Korean Barbecue Flat Iron Steak Food

KOREAN BARBECUE FLAT IRON STEAK

Steps:

• Slice flat iron steak no more than 1/4-inch thick at a 45° angle. Add the beef strips to a bowl, pour the Korean barbecue sauce over the top, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• After the beef has marinated, thread the steak onto the skewers as shown in the photo. Do not over pack the skewers.

GRILLED FLAT IRON STEAK

Steps:

• Salt your flat iron steaks on both sides and let them sit, uncovered, in the fridge up to overnight, and at least 1 hour. I like to set them on a rack over a tray to catch any juices. This preseasons your meat and will help develop a better crust on the grill.
• Get your grill very hot and clean and oil your grates as I described above. When you start this process, take your steaks out of the fridge to warm up a bit. You still want them cool, though, so no more than about 15 minutes.
• Grill your flat iron steaks hard on one side, a good 5 minutes without touching them. Flip and grill to the doneness you like, anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes, depending on the heat and the thickness of your steak. Use the finger test for doneness to determine this.
• Move your steaks from the grill, coat them with freshly cracked black pepper - or whatever spices and herbs you like - and let it rest 5 minutes. Slice across the grain (the narrow end), and squeeze citrus juice over it all.

KOREAN BARBECUED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• In a shallow dish (or I use a plastic ziploc bag), combine the grill seasoning, tamari, honey, red pepper flakes , garlic, sesame oil, scallions and vegetable oil. Coat the flank steak in the mixture and let it stand for 10 minutes. (I usually do this in the morning and let it sit all day in the fridge.).
• Preheat an indoor electric grill (I use a Foreman grill) or outside grill to medium high. When the grill is screaming hot, add the meat and cook for 5 minutes on each side for medium rare, 7-8 minutes on each side for medium well or to your doneness. (On my Foreman grill it takes about 6-8 minutes for our tastes.).

GRILLED FLAT IRON STEAK

Steps:

• Place steak in a plastic sealable bag.
• In a small glass; wisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour over the steak and marinate at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours
• Let meat set at room temperature for at least one hour prior to grilling.
• Remove meat from the marinade and discard marinade.
• Place steak on heated grill, cook about 5 minutes. You can rotate the steak about 45 degrees to create grill cross-hatch marks.
• Turn the steak over and move to a slightly cooler part of the grill and continue grilling about 4 minutes. Be careful not to overcook.
• Thinly slice the steak across the grain.
