How to Make Barbara S Flank Steak Dinner
- Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt on the bottom of a heavy skillet.
- Heat the skillet over medium-high heat for about 1 minute.
- Add the flank steak (about 1 pound) and cook for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or 4-5 minutes per side for a thicker steak. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your desired internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare).
- Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside to rest on a cutting board.
- Season the steak lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Set aside for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- While the steak rests, add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
- Add 1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color) and 1 cup sliced mushrooms.
- Sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
- Add 1/4 cup water, cover, and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 1/2 cup frozen corn and 2 chopped scallions.
- Cover and cook another 3-4 minutes, or until the corn is tender.
- Uncover and cook for 1-2 minutes to reduce any excess liquid.
- Thinly slice the rested steak across the grain at a 45-degree angle.
- Serve the cooked rice (about 2 cups cooked) on a plate or in a wide bowl.
- Top with the sauteed vegetables.
- Arrange the sliced steak over the vegetables.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
