Flank Steak ideas

Needs more posts.

I do a greek steak similar to this, but mine replaces lemon zest with lemon juice and includes some orange zest and fennel. This one is served with pita, but I do a lovely salad with red onion, cucumber, romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, feta, and tzatziki.

Japanese miso is savory (umami) and makes a good broiled or grilled flank. Go with sake or mirin instead of sherry if you are able, and I personally add a splash of rice vinegar. My housemates have food allergies so we use South River Chickpea Miso to make it soy free/gluten free. Serve with pickled daikon, cucumber, and carrot. Maybe a small side of steamed rice? I know you don't like spicy, but anyone reading whose interested might like it serve with wasabi mashed potatoes (or cauliflower, if that's your thing).

Um... Burgundy Peppercorn Marinade is a steakhouse classic. It's actually really sweet once it's cooked. I buy steaks in a local store's own house sauce like this and it's sweet and tender by the time I cook it since it's been marinading for a few days already. There are a lot of variations of it, not all of them healthy, but I bet you could easily tweak a recipe to reduce oil content and retain flavor. It's good with dilly grilled potato salad (German style) and sauerkraut/red cabbage or corn on the cob. Similar recipe below, can be made with dry red wine, burgundy or zinfandel:

Question-if I can't find flank steak, what is a comparable cut?

Really, most of these recipes can be subbed any cut of red meat. You could try for a skirt steak, sirloin, or even chuck. I think round is pretty tough, but just about anything else.

Tagging for later

This recipe is so damned good.

A bulgogi marinade is fantastic on flank steak

1/4 cup soy sauce
2-3 tablespoons mirin
3 cloves minced garlic
2 tablespoons oil (either sesame or peanut)
1 teaspoon grated ginger
cracked black pepper to taste
a couple stalks chopped green onions

Some people use sugar instead of mirin. If you use sugar, a tablespoon should suffice.

Please to check your PM's for directions to my house. The flank steak is on the counter. I'll be in my bed with covers up to my neck as the AC's blaring a little to high right now. I'm picking up a bottle of wine and some white rice to go with that. :drinker:
