    1. Mix 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar and 1/2 tsp pepper together and rub over both sides of meat after patting dry.
    2. Bake at 225°F for 30-40min until internal temp is 120°F
    3. Pan-sear in skillet with veg. Oil (or a cast iron on the stove with no oil was perfect) one minute per side twice, until internal temp is 130°-135° for a medium cooked steak

    Perfect recipe, truly outstanding flavor. The Flank steak tastes like a cross between a strip, ribeye and prime rib. I followed this Flank Steak recipe exactly like the video. I have never purchased Flank Steak in my life, was scared too. now its my go to. I did not bother with the butter mix topping the second time I cooked the recipe, the steak alone provided plenty of flavor and juice just with the rub and cook method. Thank you! Byron

    WHYYYYYY did you not make an a la minute pan sauce by deglazing that skillet with a hit of water, broth or wine, reducing to a glaze, and THEN enrich the sauce once pan is off heat by swirling in the chive butter till just melted?!?!?! Slice meat, pour a bit of sauce, garnish with more chive, and boom!
    We always score our big flanks, deeper on the thicker end, and then season, rub, and grill. That way we have meat that runs from more well done, all the way to rare. Good for group cookouts and such. Less fusty, less equipment.

      It is all about how cold the meat is when you start, Psyche1118. WHen I made it just now, with a probe thermometer as shown (and btw, they are NOT expensive--check Amazon etc. etc.) my meat was 37 degrees out of the fridge after seasoning, so it took about 30-35 minutes to get to 140 at the 225 setting as shown. Your mileage, meat, and oven may vary.

    • @XavierKatzone
      @XavierKatzone 3 роки тому +5

      About 10-12 minutes at 275 degrees, depending on cut. Error on the underdone side if you're winging it w/o a thermo. Once it's climbing in the teens, it'll jump up fast. I set the alarm for 112 degrees and then stand by and watch closely. Pull it at 118 as it'll still climb once out, and get that probe if you're really going to use this great technique successfully.

      They tend to use a LOT of things we regular people don't have in our kitchens. I was looking for how long they left them in the oven as I certainly don't have one of those fancy thermometers.
      While I absolutely adore the series and have learned a lot, the very worst episode I've ever seen was Italian Classics, Season 19, Episode 21 regarding Pape Francese Italian Bread, It seems like it would cost about $500 just to make a loaf of that bread with all the fancy gadgets that they have 🙄 just to make a loaf of bread. Seems when Julia asks the cook about alternatives to what is being used gadget wise, the answer is always, "it only costs a few dollars and no, you can't use anything else".
      I prefer Cook's Country overall as they don't act so "elite" and over our regular kitchen heads. I can't even afford the mixer and food processor let alone all kinds of thermometers, etc

      They used the meat thermometer to gauge, not a timer. It'll vary from steak to steak based on size and cut. If you want a specific doneness, you go by temperature. If they weren't going to sear them, then 130* F would be for medium rare, but since they are searing them, they'll pull before then so the searing process can finish up without pushing past that.
      Incidentally, are these oven thermometers good for sticking into meat on a pan, or will pan contact on the wire screw them up?
