Grilled Flank Steak with Tomato Salad

(12)

Cutting the steak immediately after cooking breaks all the rules on meat cookery, but in this recipe we do it intentionally in order to capture the juices and incorporate them into the dressing. Serve this grilled flank steak recipe with crusty bread to soak up the deliciousness.

Ingredients

  • 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved

  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and sliced

  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic

  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided

  • 1 1-pound flank steak

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. Combine tomatoes, cilantro, oil, jalapeño, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

  3. Season steak with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 125 degrees F for medium-rare, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

  4. Transfer the steak to a clean cutting board, preferably one with grooves for collecting juices, and thinly slice across the grain. Divide the slices among 4 plates. Drizzle any juices that have accumulated on the cutting board over the steak and top with the tomato salad.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
