Moroccan Spice Dusted Flank Steak Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the steak in half lengthwise; slice each piece in half horizontally to make 4 thin steaks. Season with salt and pepper and rub all over with the ras el hanout; set aside.
• Bring 2 cups chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan; add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the couscous and cook as the label directs.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove from the skillet; cover to keep warm.
• Add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and the red onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the olives, orange juice and honey. Cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until slightly reduced, about 30 seconds. Add the remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley; season with salt.
• Stir the tomatoes and orange zest into the couscous. Slice the steak and top with the olive-onion mixture. Serve with the couscous.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first 12 ingredients. Pour 1/3 cup marinade into a shallow dish; add steak and turn to coat. Cover; refrigerate for 1-3 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting., Lightly coat the grill rack. Grill steak, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), basting frequently with remaining marinade. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Thinly slice steak across the grain.

Steps:

• Light a charcoal or gas grill to medium-hot. Combine all the spices, coriander through cayenne pepper, in a small bowl and mix well. Season the flank steak with salt to taste, rubbing it into the meat well. Sprinkle spice mixture on both sides, cover loosely with foil and set aside for 10 minutes. Brush steak with oil and place, oiled side down, on the grill and cook without moving for 6 minutes. Brush top of steak with oil, then turn and grill another 6 minutes, until medium-rare. Set aside, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes to let juices settle. To serve, slice thinly against the grain.

Steps:

• Set a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Coat with some olive oil and add the garlic, onions, Italian seasoning and thyme. Thinly slice the Calabrese peppers and fold into the onion mixture. Season with some salt and pepper and saute until well caramelized, 7 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Trim the steak of any excess fat and remove any tough silver skin with the tip of a knife. Place the steak vertically on a clean cutting board (so the grain runs up and down). Using a sharp knife, make a flat cut down one side of the piece of meat and cut it open parallel to the board so you can open the steak up like a book. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• On one side of the steak spread out the onion mixture. Top with the tomato slices, panko and shredded cheese. Tear up the basil leaves and scatter on top for the last layer of filling. Fold the flap of beef over the top to cover. Using a bamboo skewer, thread the steak along the cut edge to seal the steak back together and hold the filling in.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan (or outdoor grill) to high. Coat lightly with some oil to clean and create a nonstick surface. Sprinkle the flank steak with salt and pepper on both sides, and then place on the hot grill. Cook for 5 minutes on the first side, and then use a large spatula to carefully flip and cook for a further 5 minutes on the second side for medium-rare. (If you desire a more well done steak, cook for a few minutes longer on each side.)
• When done, remove from the grill and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1-inch-thick slices.

Steps:

• Place flank steak in a shallow baking dish. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over meat. Turn steak a few times to coat well. Cover and place into refrigerator for 6-12 hours.
• Preheat grill from medium heat.
• Remove steak from dish and place onto grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes per side.
• When meat reaches desired doneness, remove and allow to sit for 5-7 minutes before slicing.
