Categories     Steak

Time P1DT15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 -1 1/2 lb flank steak, trimmed
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 chipotle chile in adobo
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon cumin seed
2 whole cloves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Blend together the garlic, brown sugar, thyme, vinegar, chipotle, and Olive Oil in a blender or food processor.
  • Toast the Peppercorns, Cumin Seeds, and Cloves in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast the spices just until the aromas begin to develop. Do not walk away from the pan or you will risk burning them.
  • Place toasted spices and salt in a spice grinder (coffee grinder) and pulse until fine.
  • Add spices to the wet mixture in a Large re-sealable plastic bag. Squeeze around to ensure they are mixed together well. Add whole flank steak and again squeeze around to ensure the meat is covered with the marinade. Place the bag inside of a bowl (just in case there is leakage) and marinate for at least 24 hours.
  • When ready to cook, remove steak from the bag and discard the marinade.
  • Place steak on the grill and cook for about 6 minutes per side or until the desired doneness is reached. Allow the meat to rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting. Slice diagonally against the grain into thin slices.
  • Serve with my Roasted Tomato and Corn Relish recipe.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the pasilla-guajillo adobo:
2 ounces pasilla chiles (6), wiped clean, stemmed, slit open, seeded, and deveined
2 ounces guajillo chiles (8), wiped clean, stemmed, slit open, seeded, and deveined
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup light Mexican beer
1/2 cup chopped white onion
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 teaspoon fine salt, or 2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
5 whole cloves
For the steak:
2 pounds skirt steak, cut into four 8- to 9-inch pieces
1 teaspoon fine salt, or 2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup pasilla-guajillo adobo (above)
About 1 tablespoon mild olive oil or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Make the adobo:
  • Heat a comal, griddle, or heavy skillet over medium-low heat, and toast the chiles 2 or 3 at a time, turning them over and pressing down on them with tongs frequently, until the chiles are fragrant, about 1 minute per batch. Soak the chiles in enough cold water to cover until they're soft, about 30 minutes. Drain and discard the soaking water.
  • Put the vinegar and beer in the blender jar with the chiles and the remaining adobo ingredients. Blend until smooth, at least 3 minutes, adding a little water if necessary to puree. If you like a silky, smooth texture, strain the adobo through a medium-mesh sieve. Set aside 1/2 cup of the adobo to marinate the steak, and keep the rest in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days or in the freezer for up to one month.
  • Make the steak:
  • Pat the steaks dry, season them with the salt, then coat them generously with adobo. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill or grill pan and cook the steaks, 3 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on their thickness. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing for tacos or serving as whole steaks.

FLANK STEAK IN ADOBO RECIPE - (5/5)



FLANK STEAK IN ADOBO Recipe - (5/5) image

Provided by á-32773

Number Of Ingredients 21

Adobo
1 ½ ounces dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
1 ounce dried pasilla chilies, stemmed and seeded
¾ cup salsa verde
¾ cup chicken broth
½ cup orange juice
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup lime juice (2 limes)
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
Flank Steak
2 ½-3; pounds flank steak, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped fine
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
12 (8-inch) flour tortillas, warmed
4 ounces queso fresco, crumbled (1 cup)
½ cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Salsa verde is a green salsa made from tomatillos and green chiles. Our favorite store-bought brand is Frontera Tomatillo Salsa. You can substitute skirt steak for flank steak here, if desired. If queso fresco is unavailable, you can substitute farmer's cheese or a mild feta. This dish is also great served over rice. 1. FOR THE ADOBO: Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange anchos and pasillas on rimmed baking sheet and bake until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Immediately transfer chiles to bowl and cover with hot tap water. Let stand until chiles are softened and pliable, about 5 minutes. Drain. 2. Process salsa verde, broth, orange juice, sugar, lime juice, oregano, salt, pepper, and drained chiles in blender until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside. 3. FOR THE FLANK STEAK: Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees. Pat beef dry with paper towels and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add half of beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned on all sides, 6 to 9 minutes. (Adjust heat, if necessary, to keep bottom of pot from scorching.) Using slotted spoon, transfer beef to large bowl. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and remaining beef. 4. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt to now-empty pot. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes, scraping up any browned bits. Add garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in adobo, beef, and any accumulated juices until well incorporated and bring mixture to simmer. 5. Cover pot and transfer to oven. Cook until beef is tender and sauce has thickened, about 1 1/2 hours. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with flour tortillas, sprinkled with queso fresco and cilantro.

CARNE ADOBADA (CHILE-MARINATED STEAK)



Carne Adobada (Chile-Marinated Steak) image

Mexican adobada, a tangy marinade with guajillo chiles, is often reserved for large cuts of pork, but it's also well-suited to any sturdy cut of steak, such as flank. The acid comes from lime juice in this formula, but vinegar or lemon juice works as well. An overnight marinade yields incredibly tender results, but a 30-minute steep is sufficient to infuse the meat with the fruity flavor of the chiles. Here, the steak is paired with a nice piquant roasted red pepper relish, which complements the deep flavors of the marinated meat. Side dishes like rice, beans and warm tortillas round this dish out for a wonderful weeknight meal.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 dried guajillo chiles
1 chipotle chile in adobo
1/2 small yellow onion, peeled and chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
4 tablespoons lime juice, from 2 limes
1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 cup drained and chopped roasted red peppers
2 small shallots, minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Steamed rice or warm tortillas, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the dried guajillo chiles in a small bowl and add enough hot water to cover; soak until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain, stem and seed the chiles. Using a blender or a food processor, puree the guajillos, chipotle, onion, garlic, cumin, 2 tablespoons lime juice and 2 tablespoons water until smooth. If needed, add another tablespoon of water to help the mixture blend.
  • Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with salt, then sprinkle and pat on the dried oregano to both sides as well. Place in a large bowl, dish or resealable plastic bag, pour the chile marinade over the top and turn to coat both sides. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate, covered if needed, for up to 12 hours.
  • In a small bowl, combine the roasted red peppers and shallots with the remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season to taste with salt, add the cilantro and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • In a large heavy skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Scrape any excess marinade off the steak and discard the marinade. Place the steak in the hot oil and cook until seared and deep golden brown on the contact side, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until seared and golden brown on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare. Cook for 1 additional minute on each side for thicker or larger cuts of steak or for medium doneness. You also can grill the steak on a hot charcoal or gas grill, turning once, until seared, about 6 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  • Transfer the steak to a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain. Serve topped with the roasted pepper-shallot relish, alongside steamed rice or warm tortillas.
