Best Flat Iron Steaks With Great Green Sauce And Nutty Roni N Rice Recipes

FOOLPROOF FLAT IRON STEAKS

Steps:

• Place steaks, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, thyme, mustard, and black pepper in an extra large resealable plastic bag, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Knead the bag with your hands to distribute ingredients evenly and completely coat the steaks. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove steaks from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Remove steaks from bag and discard marinade.
• Cook steaks on the preheated grill until they start to firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 6 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove steaks to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

NUTTY TROPICAL KALE AND RICE SALAD

Steps:

• Peel the mango and cut the flesh from the pit. Cut half of the mango into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 cup) and transfer to a small bowl. Roughly chop the remaining mango and puree in a blender with the oil, vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few turns of pepper.
• Cut the thick center stem from each kale leaf and discard. Working in batches, mound a handful of kale on the cutting board and gather it together tightly. Slice crosswise to make very thin ribbons. Put the kale in a large bowl and toss with the mango dressing. Let stand at least 15 minutes and up to 45 minutes to wilt slightly.
• Add the chopped mango, hearts of palm, rice and tomatoes; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the nuts.

SZECHWAN-MARINATED FLAT IRON STEAK

Steps:

• In a small saute pan, heat the chili and peanut oils. Add the jalapeno, shallots, cilantro, green onions, and ginger and cook until slightly tender. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined. Place the steaks in the marinade and refrigerate for 12 hours.
• Heat the grill to high heat. Remove steaks from the marinade and season with a little salt and pepper. Grill to desired temperature, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the steaks from the grill and allow to rest. Slice the steaks on a thin bias and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients. Set aside.
• Heat the peanut oil in a wok or hot saute pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms, asparagus, scallions, bok choy, and red onions, and cook until tender. Deglaze the vegetables with the Szechwan Deglaze until almost all the liquid is absorbed.

ASIAN FLAT IRON STEAK

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, green onions, garlic, and mustard powder together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the steak, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator, 3 to 4 hours.
• Remove steak from marinade and discard remaining marinade.
• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat; cook steak just until outside is browned and seared, about 1 minute per side. Continue to cook until desired doneness is reached, about 5 minutes more per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Remove skillet from heat and allow steak to rest before cutting, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle sesame seeds over steak.

PERFECT FLAT IRON STEAK

Steps:

• Place the steak inside of a large resealable bag. In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, garlic, parsley, rosemary, chives, Cabernet, salt, pepper and mustard powder. Pour over the steak in the bag. Press out as much air as you can and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the steak in the hot skillet for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or to your desired degree of doneness. Discard the marinade. These steaks taste best at medium rare. Allow them to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
