THIN FLANK STEAK RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large baking dish, whisk together the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar and brown sugar.  Place the steak in the baking dish and turn a few times to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.  Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat (about 400° to 450°). Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry.  Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.  Place the steak directly over the flame and cook until a thermometer reads 135° in the thickest part (for medium rare), 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove from the heat and transfer to a cutting board. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain. Serve immediately.
  

Steps:

• Cut flank steak in half, lengthwise. Having the meat half frozen makes it easy to cut.
• Cut crosswise into very thin 1/16" slices.
• Season meat with soy sauce and garlic powder. Allow to set about ten minutes.
• Heat oil in heavy skillet over high heat till oil is hazy.
• Toss in a handful of steak strips and very quickly stir a few seconds until meat just begins to lose its color; remove immediately to a dish and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Repeat with balance of meat and continue till all finished and removed to dish.
• Now, toss the onions and green pepper into same skillet and saute a minute.
• Dump in the bouillon and cook a few minutes over high heat; this allows the liquid to reduce somewhat.
• Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
• Turn down heat.
• Toss in steak strips and heat, if necessary, just till meat is hot.
• Do not cook any further! Time is of the essence here--if you let that meat cook longer, you will be serving strips of leather.
• Serve on bed of rice or over broad noodles.
• Serves 4 generously. If you need to stretch it to serve more people, add more onion and pepper.
