CHEF JOHN'S GRILLED FLAP STEAK

Steps:

• Whisk curry paste, fish sauce, rice vinegar, coconut milk, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt together in a large shallow glass or ceramic bowl. Add the flap steak and turn to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours.
• Remove the flap meat from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook flap steak on the preheated grill until it starts to firm and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer meat to a plate to rest for at least five minutes before slicing against the grain.

MARINATED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix the oil, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic, and ground black pepper. Place meat in a shallow glass dish. Pour marinade over the steak, turning meat to coat thoroughly. Cover, and refrigerate for 6 hours.
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• Oil the grill grate. Place steaks on the grill, and discard the marinade. Grill meat for 5 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.

LISA'S FAVORITE CARNE ASADA MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine the orange, lemon, and lime juice in a large glass or ceramic bowl along with the garlic, soy sauce, chipotle pepper, chili power, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and cilantro. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until marinade is well combined. Remove one cup of the marinade and place in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for use after the meat is cooked.
• Place the flank steak between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the steak with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch. After pounding, poke steak all over with a fork. Add the meat to the marinade in the large bowl, cover, and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and grill to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Discard used marinade. Remove meat from heat and slice across the grain.
• Pour the one cup of reserved, unused marinade over the hot meat and serve immediately.

GRILLED MARINATED SIRLOIN FLAP STEAKS

Steps:

• Blend soy sauce, vinegar, syrup, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a blender until smooth. Toss steaks with mixture. Marinate at room temperature about 15 minutes.
• Prepare a grill for direct-heat cooking over hot charcoal (high heat for gas); see grilling procedure.
• Discard marinade and pat steaks dry.
• Oil grill rack, then grill steaks, covered only if using a gas grill, turning occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes total for medium-rare. Let rest on a plate, uncovered, 10 minutes.

MUSTARD-MARINATED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Place the steak flat in a large nonreactive dish such as glass or porcelain. Using the tip of a sharp knife, lightly score the top of the steak diagonally in a large crisscross pattern to make what looks like 1-inch diamonds across the steak. This allows the marinade to penetrate into the meat.
• In a 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together the wine, olive oil, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the shallots and garlic. Pour the marinade over and under the steak until it's completely coated. Scatter the tarragon on top. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
• Half an hour before serving, remove the steak from the refrigerator and heat a charcoal grill with a layer of hot coals. (You can also set a gas grill on medium-high heat.) Sprinkle the steak with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Grill the steak for about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Place the steak on a clean plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice the steak thin, cutting diagonally across the grain. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot.

FLAP STEAK MARINADE

Steps:

• Stir wine, honey, shoyu, red pepper and rooster sauce together until honey is well incorporated and dissolved.
• Pour into shallow glass container, place flap steak into marinade and tuck rosemary sprigs in and around beef, cover & place in fridge.
• Turn steak every so often if there's not enough liquid to fully cover the meat.
• Marinade at least 8 hours.
• Hint: Optimal results are a 24 hour marinade.
• Later that day -- remove container from fridge and let sit out for 30 minutes.
• Remove steak from liquid marinade and slightly pat dry.
• Grill on BBQ medium high, 2 minutes each side (for medium rare, depending on thickness) to sear and caramelize the exterior.
• I did do this in a grill pan on the stove and found it was necessary to clean the pan in between turning/flipping the steak - otherwise it just didn't seem to get crispy enough.
• I'll be curious to see how it works on a Foreman type grill!
