Grilled Flank Steak With Kalamata Olives And Feta Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• In shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix all marinade ingredients. Pierce beef with fork several times on both sides. Add beef and onions to marinade; turn to coat with marinade. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate, turning beef occasionally, at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove beef onions from marinade; reserve marinade. Place beef and onions on grill. Cover grill; cook over from medium heat 15 to 20 minutes for medium doneness, brushing occasionally with marinade and turning once. Discard any remaining marinade.
• Cut beef across grain into thin slices. Sprinkle beef with feta and parsley; serve with onion slices.

Steps:

• Trim steak of any outer pieces of fat or silver skin.
• Place the steak in a large food grade, zip top plastic bag.
• In a food processor or blender, combine the marinade ingredients and process to a puree.
• Pour marinade into the plastic bag, press out any air, seal, and move meat around in the bag to coat.
• Marinade in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour or preferably overnight, turning the bag a few times.
• Heat coals to hot or medium hot.
• Remove steak from marinade and drain well.
• Discard marinade.
• While coals are heating, prepare the topping.
• Mix olives, onion, parsley, garlic and oil and set aside.
• Have salt, pepper and feta ready.
• Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper.
• Grill meat about 4 minutes per side for rare, or cook to desired doneness.
• Length of grilling time per side will vary depending on heat of grill and thickness of meat.
• Flank steak will be most tender when grilled to rare or medium rare.
• Let steak sit about 5 minutes before serving, allowing juices to settle.
• Slice thinly at an angle across the grain.
• Keeping the slices together, transfer to a clean, warm platter.
• Spoon any juices onto meat.
• Stir up reserved topping mixture and pour onto the slices.
• Scatter with feta.

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal griller (such as Big Green Egg®) to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate.
• Lay flank steak on a flat work surface. Cut steak from one side through the middle horizontally to within 1/2 inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book.
• Arrange butcher's twine on a plate, enough to cover the length of the steak. Place each string about 1 inch apart. Place steak on top; season with salt and pepper. Lay down a thick bed of spinach on top. Scatter feta cheese, olives, and bacon over the spinach.
• Roll steak up starting from the edge closest to you, pressing filling down to tighten the roll. Tie with butcher's twine.
• Cook over direct heat, turning at least once, until steak is beginning to firm and is hot and slightly pink in the center, 6 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

Steps:

• For steak:
• Mix first 6 ingredients in small bowl. Place steaks in large glass baking dish. Brush steaks with olive oil. Rub with herb mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
• For tomatoes:
• Mix all ingredients in large bowl. Season tomatoes to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill steaks until cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium. Transfer steaks to cutting board. Cover with foil. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Cut steaks across grain into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange steak slices on large platter. Spoon tomatoes with juices over steaks and serve.

Steps:

• Put steak in a large resealable plastic bag. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup marinade for vegetables; pour remainder over steak and turn to coat. Seal bag. Chill at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place 1 rack in center position and another 4 inches from broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Toss chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, and onion with reserved 1/2 cup marinade on the prepared baking sheet and spread in an even layer.
• Roast on center rack until vegetables begin to pucker and brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove baking sheet from oven and turn oven to broil. Push vegetables to the middle of the pan. Remove steak from marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off, brush off garlic, and set on top of vegetables. Discard marinade.
• Broil steak on top rack, flipping once, until it begins to char and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125 degrees F for rare or 135 degrees F for medium-rare, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Cover loosely with foil and let rest 10 minutes before slicing steak thinly across the grain. Serve warm steak and vegetables with pan juices over romaine, sprinkled with feta cheese and parsley.

Steps:

• Let steaks sit at room temperature 1 hour. Heat grill to medium-high. Pat steaks dry. Brush with 2 tablespoons oil, and season liberally with salt and pepper. Grill 7 to 8 minutes per side (or until internal temperature reaches 135 degrees) for medium-rare. Let steaks rest, loosely tented with foil, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together olives, peperoncini and their juice, parsley leaves and stems, oregano, and remaining 2/3 cup oil. Sauce can be made 1 day in advance and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving.
• Thinly slice steaks against the grain; arrange on a platter. Spoon half the sauce on top; serve remaining sauce on the side.
