Cook The Book:Cumin-Rubbed Flank Steak With Chimchurri Sauce Recipe
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 flank steak, about 3/4 inch thick and 1 1/2 to 2 pounds each
- Olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 2 cups loosely packed chopped fresh curly parsley, about one bunch
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 3 to 5 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons minced shallot or onion
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes
- 1 baguette, sliced thinly (about 1/2, inch wide)
- Fleur de sel
- In a small bowl, mix the rub ingredients until well combined. Set aside.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Trim it of any surface fat. Brush it lightly with olive oil. Press the rub into both sides of the steak.
- Build a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
- Meanwhile, make the Chimichurri Sauce: Put all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until well chopped hut not pureed.
- Just before grilling, season the steak with salt. Place the meat on the cooking grate over direct medium heat, cover, and scar. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes. Turn the steak with a pair of tongs and sear the second side. Continue grilling 3 to 5 more minutes for medium-rare. Use the A-OK method or an instant-read thermometer to test the meat.
- Remove the steak from the grill and put it on a clean platter to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before carving. While the meat rests, spread the baguette slices with Chimichurri Sauce and set aside.
- Cut the steak across the grain into thin diagonal slices. Place a slice on each piece of bread spread with the Chimichurri Sauce and sprinkle with a pinch of fleur de sel. Serve hot or warm.
