Soy Ginger And Lime Marinade Flank Steak Food

GRILLED MARINATED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Marinade: Into a zip-top bag, add ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, onion powder, ground ginger, and Worcestershire sauce. Trim away the root end of garlic cloves, smash with the flat side of a knife, and discard the peel. Smash again, then roughly chop and add to the bag. Close the bag and mix the marinade. Makes about 1¼ cups. (Marinade will keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator and up to 1 month in the freezer.)
• Steak: Place steak into the bag with the marinade. Press out as much air as possible, seal the bag, and distribute the marinade around the meat. Let marinate for at least 1 hour at room temperature or, optimally, up to 8 hours to overnight in the refrigerator. (Note: If grilling after 1 hour of marinating, reserve the marinade to baste the steak during grilling.)
• If the steak has been marinating in the refrigerator, bring it to room temperature before grilling, about 1 hour.Preheat grill pan (or outdoor grill) to medium-high heat. When grill pan is smoking hot, remove steak from marinade and lay it flat on the grill. Let cook for 4-5 minutes, largely undisturbed, pressing down on the meat to enhance grill marks if you wish. After 4-5 minutes, the steak should be lightly charred and no longer adhere to the grill. Lift and rotate steak about 60 degrees to create cross-hatched grill marks; let cook another 2-3 minutes. Finally, flip and repeat process on the other side, 7-8 minutes. (Total grilling time will be 15-16 minutes.)
• After 15-16 minutes, steak should be medium-rare. Meat should feel firm to the touch at the thickest part (alternatively, a meat thermometer should register 125 F at the thickest part of the steak). Transfer steak to a wire rack fitted over a rimmed baking sheet. Let rest to allow the juices to redistribute in the steak, 15 minutes.
• After the steak has rested, transfer to a cutting board. Find the grain of the meat, then thinly slice against the grain on a bias. Garnish with cherry tomatoes and greens, and serve immediately.

SOY-MARINATED FLANK STEAKS

Steps:

• Poke the steak all over with the tines of a fork; cut in half, against the grain, to make 2 steaks (1steak may be slightly thicker). In a non-reactive bowl or large re-sealable plastic bag, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire, vinegar, oil, garlic, sugar, and pepper, to taste. Add the steak, and turn to coat. Cover or reseal the bag and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate for up to 6 hours.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
• Position the rack in the top position in the oven and preheat the broiler. Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry. Cook the steaks, for 5 to 8 minutes on each side for rare to medium-rare. Set aside on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
• Cut the steak against the grain, on an angle, into very thin slices. Arrange the slices on a warmed platter or plates. Serve.

GINGER SOY FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Mix together ginger, garlic, chili flakes, lime juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
• Marinate steak in this mixture for at least one hour (preferably more).
• Drain off marinade and simmer in a saucepan for at least 5 minutes, keep warm.
• Grill or broil steak, basting occasionally with the marinade.
• Allow the steak to sit for 5-10 minutes before cutting (to allow the steak to absorb its own juices).
• Cut the steak across the grain, and serve with the extra warm marinade as a drizzled sauce.

GINGER FLANK STEAK WITH WASABI SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan or indoor/outdoor grill to high.
• Combine ginger, tamari, lime juice, oil and grill seasoning in a large sealable plastic bag. Add meat to marinade and coat evenly. Let stand 10 minutes then grill meat 6 to 7 minutes on each side.
• Place potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, salt the potatoes and cook until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain potatoes and add them back to the hot pot. Smash the potatoes with a masher to desired consistency with the cream and wasabi. Adjust salt, to taste.
• While potatoes and meat cook, finely chop the scallions together with cilantro and lime zest.
• Let meat rest 5 minutes then thinly slice on an angle against the grain. Serve meat on mash potato mounds with a garnish with a generous sprinkling of the chopped scallion-cilantro-lime zest.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH GINGER MARINADE

Steps:

• In a nonreactive dish or large resealable plastic bag, combine all ingredients except steak and mix thoroughly. Add steak and turn to thoroughly coat. Cover dish or close bag and allow to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. (If you are making ahead, cover, and place in refrigerator. Can be marinated up to 24 hours in refrigerator.)
• Once steak has marinated, remove from refrigerator and bring to room temperature for at least 15 minutes. Heat a lightly oiled grill pan to medium-high heat. When pan is heated, remove steak from marinade, shake off excess, add to pan and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Transfer to a cutting board, season with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain and serve.

PERFECT SOY-GRILLED STEAK

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or wood fire or heat a gas grill; the fire should be hot and the rack no more than 4 inches from the heat source. Mix together the first 6 ingredients; taste and add more of anything you like. Turn the steak in the sauce once or twice, then let sit in the sauce until the grill is hot.
• Turn the steak one more time, then place on the grill; spoon any remaining sauce over it. For rare meat, grill about 3 minutes a side for steaks less than an inch thick. For larger or more done steak, increase the time slightly.

FLANK STEAK WITH LIME MARINADE

Steps:

• In a resealable plastic bag, combine lime juice, soy sauce, scallions, ginger, and red-pepper flakes. Add steak, and seal bag (place in a dish to catch any leaks); marinate in the refrigerator, turning occasionally, up to 1 hour.
• Heat grill to high; lightly oil grates. Remove steak from marinade, letting excess drip off (discard marinade); season with salt and black pepper. Place on grill; cover. Cook, turning once, until meat reaches desired doneness, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing thinly.

SOY GINGER FLANK STEAK WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Lay flank steak flat and, with a sharp knife, score deep cuts diagonally at one-inch intervals across the entire steak.

• Slice meat thinly at an angle.
• Note: You can make an extra batch of sauce to save and serve warm at the table for pouring on top of the meat.
