31 While 31–Beer-Marinated Flank Steak

I’m seriously off track with my Thirty.  I got a good start, then slacked a bit.  I’m trying to get back on track, so I found a way to make two recipes in one night.  And boy. were. they. GOOD.  (As if I had any doubt about a recipe by Stephen Raichlen.)

This flank steak couldn’t have been easier and it was so tasty with a healthy drizzle (okay, maybe a mound) of traditional salsa verde, which I made the night before.  I scarfed this down and can’t wait to have it again!

    2 (1 1/3 lb.) flank steaks

    1 TBSP dried oregano

    2 tsp. ground cumin

    coarse Kosher salt

    1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil

    6 green onions, thinly sliced

    1 (12 oz.) bottle dark beer

    1/2 c. Worcestershire sauce

    Directions:

    1.  Using sharp knife, lightly score flank steaks about 1/8 inch deep on both sides in a crisscross pattern at 1/2-inch intervals. Place steaks in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle steaks on both sides with oregano and cumin and generous amount of coarse salt and freshly ground pepper. Drizzle olive oil over both sides of steaks, rubbing oil and spices into meat. Add green onions, beer, and Worcestershire sauce, turning steaks several times to coat both sides. Cover and chill at least three hours and up to one day, turning occasionally.  Keep chilled.

    2.  Heat grill or cast iron grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush lightly with oil. 

    3.  Grill steaks to desired doneness, three to four minutes total per side for medium-rare, turning steaks 1/4 turn after 1 1/2 minutes to form crisscross grill marks, if desired. Increase time as desired, but do not overcook as flank steak can become tough.  

    4.  Transfer steaks to cutting board; let rest five minutes. Thinly slice steaks across grain.  Top with salsa verde and serve.

      I am in the process of making many different marinades for flank steaks ( have made three in the last 2 weeks), for a party I am catering in 3 weeks. Your inspiration will be friday night's flank. Thanks!
