Emerils Flank Steak Recipes

GRILLED MARINATED FLANK STEAKS

Steps:

• Place the flank steak in a large, plastic resealable bag. In a 2-cup measuring cup combine the remaining ingredients. Pour the marinade mixture into the bag with the steak, seal and marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours in advance.
• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Remove the steak from the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer the marinade for 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from the heat and keep warm. Place the steak on the grill and cook to desired doneness, about 6 minutes per side for rare. Transfer the steak to plate and let stand for 5 minutes before carving. Cut the steak across the grain into thin diagonal slices, and serve with the marinade sauce.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

EMERIL'S "PANIOLO" (HAWAIIAN COWBOY) STEAK

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients, except the onions, Essence, and peppercorns.
• Place the steaks in a large sealable bag with the marinade. Seal and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, and up to 36 hours.
• Preheat a grill.
• Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry. Season both sides with 1 tablespoon of the Essence and the peppercorns. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer until thickened and reduced by 1/3 in volume, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
• Sprinkle the thick onion slices with the remaining 1 tablespoon of Essence.
• Grill the steaks until medium-rare, about 6 minutes per side. At the same time, grill the onions (as though grilling a patty, so the rings stay together) until golden and char-marked by the grill, turning once.
• Remove the steaks from the grill and top with the grilled onions. Serve with the reduced marinade as sauce.

GRILLED MARINATED FLANK STEAKS

Steps:

• 1. Put the flank steak in a large self-sealing plastic bag. Whisk the sherry, soy sauce, brown sugar, Creole Seasoning, garlic, tomato paste, and pepper in a medium bowl. Pour into the bag and seal. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, and up to 24 hours.
• 2. Preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
• 3. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry. Grill the steak for about 6 minutes on each side for rare. While it cooks, pour the marinade into a small heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes.
• 4. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
• 5. Cut the steak across the grain into thin diagonal slices, and serve with the sauce on the side.
