Adobo Grilled Veal Flank Steak Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the lime juice, garlic, oregano, and cumin. Stir in chipotle peppers, and season to taste with adobo sauce.
• Pierce the meat on both sides with a sharp knife, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place in a glass dish. Pour lime and chipotle sauce over meat, and turn to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
• Preheat grill for high heat.
• Lightly brush grill grate with oil. Place steaks on the grill, and discard marinade. Grill steaks for 6 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.

Steps:

• Make the adobo:
• Heat a comal, griddle, or heavy skillet over medium-low heat, and toast the chiles 2 or 3 at a time, turning them over and pressing down on them with tongs frequently, until the chiles are fragrant, about 1 minute per batch. Soak the chiles in enough cold water to cover until they're soft, about 30 minutes. Drain and discard the soaking water.
• Put the vinegar and beer in the blender jar with the chiles and the remaining adobo ingredients. Blend until smooth, at least 3 minutes, adding a little water if necessary to puree. If you like a silky, smooth texture, strain the adobo through a medium-mesh sieve. Set aside 1/2 cup of the adobo to marinate the steak, and keep the rest in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days or in the freezer for up to one month.
• Make the steak:
• Pat the steaks dry, season them with the salt, then coat them generously with adobo. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill or grill pan and cook the steaks, 3 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on their thickness. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing for tacos or serving as whole steaks.

Steps:

• Combine the steaks with the Adobo in a shallow nonreactive roasting pan and let marinate at room temperature 2 to 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the grill or broiler. Lift the meat from the marinade, shaking off the excess, and season all over with salt and pepper. Cook over moderate heat, or 4 inches from the broiler unit, turning frequently and brushing several times with the marinade during the last few minutes, until slightly charred, about 10 minutes.
• Toast the chiles directly over a medium gas flame or in a cast-iron skillet until soft and brown, turning frequently to avoid scorching. Transfer the toasted chiles to a saucepan and add the vinegar and water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 10 minutes to soften.
• Transfer the chiles and liquid to a blender or food processor. Puree until a smooth paste is formed, adding a tablespoon or two of water if necessary to thin. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onions until golden brown, 8 to l minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook briefly just to release the aroma. Then stir in the cumin and cook another minute. Add the chicken stock and reserved chile paste. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the brown sugar, orange and lemon juices, tomato paste, salt and pepper to form a paste. Add to the simmering stock mixture and continue cooking another 15 minutes. Adobe can be stored in the refrigerator 1 week or frozen indefinitely.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat. Drizzle the steak with some oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill for 7 minutes on each side.
• Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, the parsley, vinegar and garlic in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the steak from grill and rest it for 10 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the parsley sauce.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the lime juice and oil over the flank steak and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside while the grill heats or wrap in foil and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before cooking.
• Preheat the grill.
• Mix together the adobo sauce, ketchup, vinegar and sugar to combine thoroughly. Set aside.
• Place the steak on the grill and cover. Let the steak cook until browned on the first side, 6 to 7 minutes, flip and baste the cooked side with the adobo mixture. Let the second side brown, baste the top side again with the adobo mixture, flip and baste the second side. Cover and let the steak cook to desired doneness; the time will vary with the thickness of the steak, but a good estimate is 14 minutes total for medium-rare.
• When cooked to desired doneness, remove from the grill and let the steak for rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Slice thinly and serve.

Steps:

• Blend together the garlic, brown sugar, thyme, vinegar, chipotle, and Olive Oil in a blender or food processor.
• Toast the Peppercorns, Cumin Seeds, and Cloves in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast the spices just until the aromas begin to develop. Do not walk away from the pan or you will risk burning them.
• Place toasted spices and salt in a spice grinder (coffee grinder) and pulse until fine.
• Add spices to the wet mixture in a Large re-sealable plastic bag. Squeeze around to ensure they are mixed together well. Add whole flank steak and again squeeze around to ensure the meat is covered with the marinade. Place the bag inside of a bowl (just in case there is leakage) and marinate for at least 24 hours.
• When ready to cook, remove steak from the bag and discard the marinade.
• Place steak on the grill and cook for about 6 minutes per side or until the desired doneness is reached. Allow the meat to rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting. Slice diagonally against the grain into thin slices.
• Serve with my Roasted Tomato and Corn Relish recipe.

Steps:

• Salsa verde is a green salsa made from tomatillos and green chiles. Our favorite store-bought brand is Frontera Tomatillo Salsa. You can substitute skirt steak for flank steak here, if desired. If queso fresco is unavailable, you can substitute farmer's cheese or a mild feta. This dish is also great served over rice. 1. FOR THE ADOBO: Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange anchos and pasillas on rimmed baking sheet and bake until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Immediately transfer chiles to bowl and cover with hot tap water. Let stand until chiles are softened and pliable, about 5 minutes. Drain. 2. Process salsa verde, broth, orange juice, sugar, lime juice, oregano, salt, pepper, and drained chiles in blender until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside. 3. FOR THE FLANK STEAK: Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees. Pat beef dry with paper towels and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add half of beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned on all sides, 6 to 9 minutes. (Adjust heat, if necessary, to keep bottom of pot from scorching.) Using slotted spoon, transfer beef to large bowl. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and remaining beef. 4. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt to now-empty pot. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes, scraping up any browned bits. Add garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in adobo, beef, and any accumulated juices until well incorporated and bring mixture to simmer. 5. Cover pot and transfer to oven. Cook until beef is tender and sauce has thickened, about 1 1/2 hours. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with flour tortillas, sprinkled with queso fresco and cilantro.
