Gingery Grilled Flank Steak With Couscous Salad Recipes

GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH GINGER MARINADE

Steps:

• In a nonreactive dish or large resealable plastic bag, combine all ingredients except steak and mix thoroughly. Add steak and turn to thoroughly coat. Cover dish or close bag and allow to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. (If you are making ahead, cover, and place in refrigerator. Can be marinated up to 24 hours in refrigerator.)
• Once steak has marinated, remove from refrigerator and bring to room temperature for at least 15 minutes. Heat a lightly oiled grill pan to medium-high heat. When pan is heated, remove steak from marinade, shake off excess, add to pan and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Transfer to a cutting board, season with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain and serve.

GINGERY GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH COUSCOUS SALAD

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high. Rub the steak with 1 Tbsp oil, then the ginger. Season with 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using a vegetable peeler, remove 2 strips of orange zest. Thinly slice the zest and transfer to a medium bowl. Squeeze the juice from the orange into a small bowl; set aside. Add the couscous to the bowl with the zest. Add 1 cup tap water, cover and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Grill the steak, occasionally brushing with the orange juice, to desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.
• Fluff the couscous with a fork and fold in the scallions, remaining 1 Tbsp oil and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper. Serve with the steak.
