Grilled Flank Steak with Kumquat and Red Onion Salad
- 2 pounds flank steak
- Kumquat, Green Peppercorn and Garlic Paste
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh orange juice
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 large bunch arugula (6 ounces), large stems discarded
- 1 cup fresh kumquats, thinly sliced and seeded (5 ounces)
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion (1/2 small onion)
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
- Set the flank steak in a large, shallow glass or ceramic baking dish.
- Add the Kumquat, Green Peppercorn and Garlic Paste and rub it all over both sides of the flank steak.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate the steak for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Let the flank steak return to room temperature before grilling.
- Light a grill or preheat the broiler and position the shelf 8 inches from the heat.
- Scrape the paste off the steak, if desired, then grill or broil it, turning once, until browned, about 12 minutes for medium rare.
- If the steak is cooked with the paste on, some of it may fall off when the steak is turned.
- Let the flank steak rest for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil with the orange juice.
- Season with salt and pepper and then whisk until the salt dissolves.
- Add the arugula, kumquats and red onion and toss well, then transfer the salad to dinner plates.
- Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the flank steak on the diagonal across the grain.
- Arrange the slices on the salads.
- Garnish the plates with the cilantro leaves and serve the steak immediately.
