Flank steak is flavorful and juicy when completely unadorned, but it gets added personality from bitter greens, grilled onion, and a lively vinaigrette. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 teaspoons sugar |
1 pound flank steak (3/4 inch thick) |
1 medium shallot, finely chopped |
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard |
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided |
1 very large red onion, halved and sliced 1/3 inch thick |
3/4 pound bitter greens such as escarole or frisée or a combination |
Directions:
1. Marinate steak: Whisk together Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, oil, garlic, and sugar in a shallow dish. Add steak, turning to coat, and marinate at room temperature 15 minutes.
2. Make dressing and prepare onion while steak marinates: Whisk together shallot, vinegar, mustard, 3 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Toss onion with remaining tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
3. Grill steak and onion: Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-high heat. Pat steak dry and season with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Oil grill rack. Grill steak, covered, turning once, 8 to 10 minutes total for medium-rare.
4. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest, uncovered, 5 minutes.
5. While steak rests, grill onion in grill basket, covered, stirring occasionally, until charred and tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
6. Thinly slice steak across the grain. Toss greens, onion, and steak with dressing and salt to taste.
7. Cooks' note: Steak and onion can be grilled in a hot lightly oiled 2-burner grill pan over medium-high heat, 9 to 11 minutes.
