Oven Roasted Flank Steak Recipes

THE BEST EASY OVEN ROASTED GARLIC FLANK STEAK RECIPE

Steps:

• Lay flank steak out flat, trim any extra fat or silver skin.
• Generously season steak with salt and pepper.
• Add olive oil, herbs, lemon zest and juice, and diced garlic to a large bowl or (preferably) a large plastic bag and mix well.
• Add steak to bag and let marinate for 40 minutes up to two hours.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees (or 450 - as high as your oven broiler can go.)
• Add large cast iron pan or skillet to oven. If you don't have a pan or cast iron griddle large enough for your steak, you can use a heavy baking sheet lined with foil. (Cast iron will get best results, but don't worry if you don't have it.) Make sure pan is close to broiler, but not touching (I give about 5" to make sure my steak has room under the broiler since I have a gas flame broiler and don't want to start a fire from spattering fat.) Let pan get scorching hot before adding steak to it for the best texture.
• Remove steak from bag, and sprinkle with garlic powder.
• Cook steak in oven for 8 minutes, then flip to other side and cook another 8.
• Continue to cook until steak has reached desired doneness: 125 degrees with a digital thermometer inserted into the fattest part of the steak will give you a rare steak. 135 degrees will get you medium rare, 155 for medium well, and 165 degrees for well done.
• When your steak is done to your taste, remove from oven.
• Place a small piece of foil over the steak to "tent" it and let it finish carryover cooking as it rests for 10 minutes.
• When steak has rested for at least 10 minutes (don't rush - if you cut it right off the grill the steaks juices will all run out), slice it width-wise (so you have lots of thin strips instead of just a few long strips) against the grain - which is essential to keeping the steak from being too chewy or tough.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

FLANK STEAK WITH ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Position racks in the lower third and top of the oven; preheat the broiler. Toss the carrots, parsnips, turnip, olive oil, chopped rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast on the lower oven rack, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, halve the steak lengthwise and poke a few times on both sides with a fork; transfer to a resealable plastic bag. Add the bourbon, brown sugar, mustard and garlic; tear the rosemary sprig in half and add to the bag. Seal and vigorously massage the ingredients into the meat for 5 minutes to tenderize. Transfer the steak to a foil-lined baking sheet, discarding the marinade. Season with salt and pepper.
• Leaving the vegetables in the oven, broil the steak until a thermometer inserted sideways into the center registers 125 degrees F to 130 degrees F for medium rare, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to rest, 5 minutes. Move the vegetables to the top oven rack and broil, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Slice the meat and serve with the vegetables. Top with parsley and serve with mustard.

FLANK STEAK WITH BALSAMIC ROASTED EGGPLANT

Steps:

• Put a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450˚ F. Combine the eggplant, red onion, 1/4 cup olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes in a large bowl and toss to coat. Spread out on the preheated pan and roast, tossing once, until browned around the edges and tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle with the balsamic vinegar; toss gently.
• Meanwhile, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons water and a pinch of salt in a food processor or mini chopper. Pulse until mostly smooth (it should be the consistency of a thick pesto; if it's too thick, add more water 1 teaspoon at a time). Adjust the seasoning, if needed.
• Season the steak all over with salt, pepper and the herbes de Provence. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the steak and cook until well browned, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board to rest 5 minutes.
• Toss the basil with the eggplant; season with salt, if needed. Divide among plates. Slice the steak, divide among the plates and top with the sun-dried tomato mixture.

BRAISED FLANK STEAK IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil.
• Whisk water, steak sauce, and soup mix together in a small bowl. Pour a little into the bottom of the prepared pan. Add the steak, then the remaining sauce. Cover with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender and hot and slightly pink in the center, 1 to 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium.

BAKED FLANK STEAK

• Score surface of steak, making shallow diagonal cuts. Place in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Place tomatoes, green pepper, onion and mushrooms around meat. Combine the chili sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper; drizzle over meat and vegetables., Cover and bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until meat and vegetables are tender. Remove and keep warm. Pour pan juices into a measuring cup; skim fat. , In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually stir in 1-1/2 cups pan juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Thinly slice steak across the grain; serve with vegetables and gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 and place rack in the second position from the top. Place all ingredients except the beef broth and flank steak in a plastic storage bag and shake well to mix.
• Score flank steak on both sides in a X shape. Place steak in storage bag and turn over a number of times to coat. Marinade at least an hour turning every 30 minutes.
• Discard all but 2 tablespoons of marinade. Place steak in shallow baking dish along with 1/4 cup of beef broth and the 2 tablespoons of marinade. Bake for 30 minutes. Turn and bake for additional 15 minutes. Steak should be medium to medium rare. Do not cook over medium or it will become tough.
• Remove broth from the baking dish and let meat stand while you make the gravy. Add the pan drippings plus the 1 cup of beef broth and pour into a sauce pan.
• In a small dish add corn starch and cold water to make a slurry. Pour into beef broth mixture and bring to a boil. Stir constantly until it reaches desired consistency.
• Slice meat against the grain in thin slices. Serve with gravy.

STUFFED FLANK STEAK IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Place flank steak in the freezer for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet. Add mushrooms, celery, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic; saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and place in a large bowl.
• Pat roasted red peppers dry. Chop and add to the vegetable mixture. Add bread crumbs, parsley, 2 tablespoons olive oil, capers, salt, pepper flakes, and black pepper. Mix to combine.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Remove steak from the freezer and season with salt and pepper. Turn the long side of the steak towards you and place on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle to within 1/2 inch of the opposite edge, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book.
• Leaving a 1-inch border around the edges, layer prosciutto and provolone cheese over the entire steak. Top with bread crumb mixture, patting down to adhere. Roll steak up tightly starting at the small end. Use kitchen twine to tie steak in 1-inch increments taking care to tie tightly at both ends. Season with more salt and pepper and brush with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Place steak carefully on a broiler pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium-rare, 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) for medium, or 170 degrees F (77 degrees C) for well done, 35 to 40 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for an additional 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

PEPPERY FLANK STEAK TAGLIATA IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Lay flank steak on a baking sheet and season on both sides with salt. Put a handful of peppercorns on a cutting board and crush them by pressing firmly with the bottom of a sauce pan (or use a spice mill or mortar and pestle to obtain a very coarse grind). Measure 1 tablespoon of crushed pepper and sprinkle on both sides of steak. Strip leaves from rosemary. Sprinkle meat evenly on both sides with rosemary and garlic slices. Drizzle with 4 tablespoons olive oil, then massage with your hands to distribute, pressing pepper, rosemary and garlic into surface. Leave at room temperature for an hour (or refrigerate for several hours and bring to room temperature before proceeding).
• Meanwhile, heat oven to 450 degrees. Place a cast iron skillet large enough to hold the steak (or a heavy roasting pan) on the upper rack. Let skillet heat for at least 30 minutes.
• Carefully put flank steak in pan and close oven door. After 5 minutes, flip the steak (it should be well browned on the bottom) and cook just until juices appear on surface of steak, 3 to 4 minutes more for medium-rare meat. (Alternatively, cook steak under broiler about 2 inches from heat.) Remove steak and let rest on a carving board for 10 minutes.
• Cut meat on a diagonal, against grain, into thin slices. Arrange sliced meat on a large platter and surround with arugula. With a vegetable peeler, shave about 2 ounces of cheese over arugula. Drizzle with a little olive oil and garnish with lemon wedges.
