Pioneer Womans Perfectly Grilled Flank Steak Recipes

Steps:

• About 20 minutes before grilling, remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let sit, covered, at room temperature.
• Heat your grill to high. Brush the steaks on both sides with oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the grill and cook until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the steaks over and continue to grill 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare (an internal temperature of 135 degrees F), 5 to 7 minutes for medium (140 degrees F) or 8 to 10 minutes for medium-well (150 degrees F).
• Transfer the steaks to a cutting board or platter, tent loosely with foil and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Make the marinade: Combine the canola oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, oregano, parsley, rosemary and Worcestershire sauce in a food processor; season with salt and pepper. Pulse until the garlic and herbs are incorporated in the oil.
• Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak and marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• Make the sauce: Remove the steak from the bag and pour the marinade into a small pan. Bring the marinade to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to high and oil the grates. Grill the steak 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 to 7 minutes, then slice against the grain. Serve with the herb sauce.

Steps:

• For the steak: Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Drizzle the steak with the olive oil and season with the ancho chile powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Grill the steak to the desired temperature, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Set aside to rest while you make the salsa.
• For the grilled avocado-corn salsa: Brush the corn, jalapeño and red onion with the olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Grill until the vegetables are lightly charred, about 6 minutes. Slice the corn off the cob and chop the jalapeño and onion. Toss the vegetables with the cilantro, avocado and lime zest and juice in a bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• For the assembly: Slice the steak thinly against the grain. Build a taco by grabbing a warm naan and adding a tablespoon of the chipotle mayo, if using. Top with some of the steak and a spoonful of the salsa. Top with some crumbled queso fresco and serve with a lime wedge.

Steps:

• For the herb sauce: Whisk together the herbs, olive oil, vinegar, serrano, garlic, shallot, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• For the three cheese waffle hash browns: Preheat a waffle iron to medium.
• Toss the shredded potatoes in a bowl with the melted butter, the three cheeses and the salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
• Spray the top and bottom of the waffle iron well with cooking spray. Put a mounded cup of the potato mixture (about 1 1/4 cups worth) in each well and gently pat down. (They will start to sizzle.)
• Close the waffle iron and cook until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy; time will vary based on your waffle iron, but it will take roughly 12 minutes. (Check on them occasionally to make sure they aren't burning.) Use a butter knife or fish spatula to gently and very carefully remove the hash browns. They are very fragile when they are hot and just out of the iron.
• For the flank steak: Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Pat the steak dry and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Grill the steak for about 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Set on a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes.
• Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Divide the hash browns and steak among 4 plates and drizzle the steak with the herb sauce.
