Garlic-Chile Flank Steak

Found this recipe inside an article on Delish. Though I don't eat red meat that often, this seems like a recipe that I might love to make on those occasions that I do make and eat a nice steak meal.

Garlic-Chile Flank Steak

From EatingWell.com

Serve this great-tasting, tender steak as part of a taco party or with a mixed green salad and sliced avocados.

Serves: 8
Total Time: 1 hr 25 min
Prep Time: 1 hr
Cook Time: 15 min

Ingredients

  • 2 clove(s) garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup(s) white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon(s) canola oil
  • 2 teaspoon(s) ground ancho chile pepper, (see Ingredient note)
  • 1 teaspoon(s) dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
  • 1 1/8 pound(s) flank steak, trimmed of fat
Directions
  1. Whisk garlic, vinegar, oil, ground chile, oregano, cumin and salt in a small bowl. Place steak in a shallow baking dish and pour marinade over it, turning to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, turning once, or overnight.
  2. Preheat grill to high heat. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the steak until desired doneness, 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steak very thinly across the grain. Serve warm or chilled.

Chimichurri Flank Steak With Black Beans and Brown Rice

From Self's November 2008 feature of Eat Healthy All Week, here is a recipe for Chimmichurri Flank Steak. It sounds delicous!

Chimichurri Flank Steak With Black Beans and Brown Rice


Serves 1

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup brown rice (makes 1 3/4 cups cooked)
  • 1 small clove garlic, halved
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium nonfat chicken broth (plus 3 tbsp)
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons packed parsley
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 pound cooked flank steak (left over from Sunday's brunch)
  • 1/2 teaspoon extra light olive oil
  • 1/2 celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onions
  • 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 large romaine leaves, thinly sliced

PREPARATION

  1. Heat oven to 400°. Cook rice as directed on package; reserve 1/2 cup. (Refrigerate 1 1/4 cups to use later throughout the week.) Blend garlic, 3 tbsp broth, 2 tbsp cilantro, parsley and vinegar in a mini-chopper or blender until chunky. Place steak in a small ovensafe skillet; top with cilantro-parsley sauce. Push steak to side and place rice next to it. Bake, uncovered, until steak is warm and rice is hot, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and set aside. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook celery and onion until onion softens and browns lightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle taco seasoning over celery and onion and cook until spices become fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in beans and remaining 1/2 cup broth. Cook until vegetables absorb most of broth, 5 to 6 minutes. Place romaine on 1 side of a large plate. Top with beans. Remove steak from skillet and slice it thinly on the diagonal. Stir rice in skillet to pick up remaining cilantro-parsley sauce. Place rice on other half of romaine and steak next to beans and rice. Garnish with 1 tbsp sliced cilantro. (Transfer the cubed flank steak you tucked in the freezer on Sunday afternoon to the fridge so it will be ready for Wednesday's dinner.)

The Only 20 Things You'll Ever Need to Know How to Cook part 7

We continue with Glamour's twenty recipes with a recipe for grilled steak and Delicious fried rice. If you missed the first five parts, check them all out here


"No guy required" grilled steak

Sprinkle kosher salt on a good cut of meat (I like rib eye). Toss onto a superhot grill. Avoid pushing down while grilling--it forces juice (and flavor) out. For medium rare, cook a one-inch rib eye about 2 or 3 minutes per side, more if thicker. Let sit 10 minutes before serving so juice redistributes.


Delicious fried rice

Dump that carton of leftover cooked Chinese rice and 1 tbsp. vegetable oil into a hot frying pan. Add 1 cup peas, 1 cup diced scallions, 1 tbsp. each soy sauce and sesame oil, and 1 egg. Fry until egg is scrambled and rice crackly.

Beef Tenderloin Steaks with Red Wine-Mushroom Sauce

Found a beef recipe from Cooking Light and thought that yall would be interested in it.. It looks really good; I can't wait to try it.


Beef Tenderloin Steaks with Red Wine-Mushroom Sauce



Stirring the mushrooms constantly helps release their juices, allowing them to caramelize quickly. Complete the meal with Wedge Salad with Sour Cream-Mustard Seed Dressing or roasted potatoes.

Prep: 1 minute; Cook: 10 minutes

Prep Time: 1 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 steak and 1/4 cup sauce)

  • Butter-flavored cooking spray
  • 1 (8-ounce) package presliced baby portobello mushrooms
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary

Preparation

1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper; coat with cooking spray. Add steaks to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Transfer steaks to a serving platter; keep warm.

2. Add mushrooms to pan. Coat mushrooms with cooking spray; sauté 3 minutes or until browned. Stir in wine, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Cook until liquid almost evaporates. Remove pan from heat; add butter and rosemary, stirring until butter melts. Pour sauce over steaks.
