"Give them great meals of beef and iron and steel, they will eat like wolves and fight like devils."
-William Shakespeare

The refrigerator light goes on...

This is a perfect recipe to experiment with. Use a different herb or acid every time for a much different flavor. Try dried tarragon and orange juice or lemon juice and fresh thyme. The combinations are endless.

Resting Meat (Carryover Cooking)

When cooking meats, it is important to remove them from the heat a little early.  Flank steak should be allowed to “rest“ for 5 – 10 minutes, but a larger cut needs to rest for at least 15 minutes.  

After removing meat from the oven or grill, the internal temperature of the meat continues to rise (some people call this carryover cooking).  Without the continued high temperature of the oven, the external temperature of the meat decreases, however, and the result is redistribution of the juices in the meat, making it both easier to carve as well as more succulent.

If you are cooking with an instant thermometer, figure that the internal temperature in a smaller piece of meat will increase by about 15 degrees and a larger piece by about 10 degrees while it rests.  For example, after cooking a pork tenderloin to 135°F in the oven the temperature will rise to 145 – 150°F as it rests.

2 Tbsp	shallot (minced)
2 cloves	garlic (minced)
1 Tbsp	fresh rosemary
1 Tbsp	extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp	fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp	salt
3/4 lb	flank steak
	spray olive oil

Combine the shallot, garlic, rosemary, olive oil, lime juice, salt and flank steak in a zipper bag. Close the bag and toss to coat the steak well. Marinate at least four hours in the refrigerator (overnight is best). When you are ready to cook the steak, preheat the oven to broil or start the barbecue grill on medium-high heat. Lightly spray a broiler or grill pan with oil. Put the flank steak on the pan and place it under the broiler (or place the steak on the grill). Cook for about 8 - 9 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove to a cutting board and allow the meat to rest for about 5 to 10 minutes prior to slicing. Carve the meat as thin as possible and serve.
