Thai Marinated Flank Steak Recipes

THAI BEEF

Steps:

• Place flank steak in the freezer for 20 minutes.
• Whisk coriander, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, and ground ginger together in a bowl until marinade is well combined.
• Remove steak from freezer and slice thinly across the grain. Place steak in a large bowl, pour marinade over steak, and toss to coat. Cover bowl and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line bottom of a broiler pan with foil.
• Lay steak slices in a single layer on the rack of the prepared broiler pan.
• Cook in the preheated broiler, brushing occasionally with marinade, until steak reaches desired doneness, 1 to 2 minutes for medium rare.

THAI MARINATED FLANK STEAK RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large Ziplock bag. I like to add all the liquid and dry ingredients first, close the bag, massage the mixture to incorporate ingredients and then add the flank steak. Close the bag. Use your hands to massage the marinade into the steak. If you want to be more earth friendly, place the marinade steak in a glass 9×13 baking dish with lock down lid.
• Marinate in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight.
• Heat grill to medium-high heat. Grill steak for about 4 minutes per side for a medium-rare steak. 125 degrees F will provide a rare steak, 135 degrees F is medium rare, or 145 degrees F gives a medium. Flank steak is lean and tends to dry out when cooked above medium, but if you love your cattle really, really dead, 155 degrees F is provides a medium well, and 165 degrees F is well done. Flank steak tends to be more narrow at one end, so always check the thicker part. You should get a variety of meat doneness to satisfy everyone at the table.
• Cover with foil and let steak rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
• Flank steak is a fibrous meat, making it a perfect meat for absorbing marinade. When cutting your steak, you want to cut against the grain and at an angle as shown in the photo above. Cutting against the grain breaks up the muscle fibers and helps avoid a tough and chewy steak experience.

Steps:

• Combine all seasonings and rub into the steaks. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

• To make the slaw, whisk together in a large bowl the peanut oil, shallot, chilies, lime juice, sesame oil and salt. Add the cabbage, carrots and scallions to the bowl. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
• When ready to cook, prepare a charcoal or gas grill or preheat the broiler. Grill or broil the steak, turning once, until it reaches the desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Allow to rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the slaw with the basil and place a mound of slaw on each of 4 plates. Slice the steak thinly on the bias, drape over the slaw and serve.
