Garlic Chile Flank Steak Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, lime juice, tequila, soy sauce, cilantro, peppers, black pepper and cumin in a resealable gallon-size plastic bag. Add the steak and let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove from the refrigerator and let marinate at room temperature another 30 to 45 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Remove the steak from the marinade. Put the marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, then strain and reserve.
• Place the steak on the grill. Cook for 4 minutes, turn 180 degrees and cook for 3 more minutes (to create crosshatch grill marks). Flip and finish cooking for 3 to 6 minutes, depending on desired doneness. Remove from the grill to a cutting board and let rest, loosely covered with foil, for 5 minutes.
• Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately with the reserved marinade.

Steps:

• Grind black pepper and fennel seed together in a mortar with a pestle. Pour half the pepper mixture into a small bowl and stir in salt.
• Stir remaining pepper mixture, garlic, rosemary, 2 tablespoons olive oil, orange juice, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl.
• Rub rosemary mixture over both sides of flank steak, poking mixture into steak several times with a fork. Transfer steak to a resealable plastic bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove steak from marinade; scrape off and discard any excess marinade.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Sprinkle reserved pepper-fennel mixture over steak. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over orange halves.
• Cook steak on the preheated grill until it begins to firm and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove to a plate to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing across the grain.
• Place oranges, flesh-side down, on the grill and cook until flesh is golden and caramelized, 3 to 5 minutes. Place steak and 3 orange halves on a serving platter. Squeeze remaining caramelized orange half over the steak.

Steps:

• In a small bowl stir together chili powder, garlic paste, cumin, and sugar and stir in Worcestershire sauce to make a paste.
• Arrange steaks on a plate large enough to hold them in one layer and rub both sides of steaks with chili paste. Transfer steaks to a large sealable plastic bag. Marinate steaks, chilled, at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.
• Prepare grill.
• Grill steaks on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. (Alternatively, steaks may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned large ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Transfer steaks to plates and let stand 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Place the garlic, cumin, and cilantro in a food processor and blend till coarsely chopped.
• Add the chilis(this will be quite spicy-use less if desired), olive oil, salt, and pepper and process until smooth.
• Rub the chili mixture onto the steak. Let the steak stand at room temperature 2-3 hours(or in the refrigerator overnight). If you refrigerate, allow the meat to come to room temperature before grilling.
• Grill over a hot falme for about 5 minutes per side for medium rare, a few minutes longer for well done. Enjoy!
