"I told my dear friend and colleague Cathy Whims, co-owner of Portland's renowned restaurant Nostrana, that I was “stealing her recipe” after I ate this dish at her restaurant. The simplicity of the preparation was obvious, yet the overlay of flavors was complex and memorable, It's a winner! Grill an extra flank steak and reserve it for making Grilled Flank Steak Salad withGrilled New Potatoes and Chimichurri on another night."

Directions

 

Step 1

Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill on high.
 

Step 2

Remove the flank steak from the refrigerator 20 to 30 minutes before grilling and place it on a large, rimmed baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
  • 1 Flank Steak, 1¼ to 1½ pounds, trimmed off fat
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • Kosher Salt, or sea salt

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons olive oil and the garlic. Rub the steak on both sides with the mixture and season with salt and pepper.
 

Step 4

Oil the grill grate. Place the flank steak directly over the hot fire. Cover the grill and sear the steak on one side, 4 minutes for rare or 6 minutes for medium-rare. Turn, re-cover, and cook for 4 minutes more, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 120°F for rare or 130° to 135°F for medium-rare.
 

Step 5

Transfer the steak to a carving board and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut the meat across the grain into ¼-inch-thick slices.

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces Arugula, (Baby)

Step 6

Scatter an equal amount of arugula on each dinner plate. Arrange overlapping slices of steak over the greens and spoon any accumulated juices over the top.

Ingredients

  • 2 14 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Lemon Infused
  • Fleur De Sel, or other finishing salt

Step 7

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the lemon olive oil over each portion of steak and sprinkle with fleur de sel.
