Well, the snow has melted and it’s time to fire up the grill.

 

Purrfect Flank Steak

Ingredients
  

  • Flank Steak
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 1 tbsp.
  • Rowdy Kitty Rub™
  • Butter - 1 tbsp.

Instructions
 

  • Rub a flank steak with about a tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Sprinkle Rowdy Kitty Rub generously on both sides of the flank steak.
  • Let the seasoned flank steak rest at room temperature for 1/2 hour to an hour.
  • Heat a large frying pan on medium high heat. Drop in a tablespoon of butter once the pan is hot. Place the flank steak in the pan and cook for 8 minutes on each side (for rare to medium rare). If the flank steak is particularly thick, say 1" or more, cook for another minute or so on each side.
  • Alternatively, grill the flank steak over hot coals for 7 to 8 minutes per side.
  • Remove flank steak from pan and let rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board.
  • Cut meat across the grain in thin slices at about a 45 degree angle.
  • Pile the slices on a plate and pour the collected juices over the meat and serve.
  • Note: Flank steak shouldn't be cooked much more than medium rare at the most. A well-done flank steak is a ruined flank steak.
  • Sally: Ditto that!
