The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science

(Nandana) #1


  1.  Remove  the steak   from    the marinade    and pat dry with

    paper towels. Ignite a large chimneyful of coals and wait
    until they’re covered in gray ash, then spread evenly over
    one half of the grill grate. Put the cooking grate in place,
    cover, and allow the grill to preheat for 5 minutes. Or, if
    using a gas grill, heat one set of burners to high and leave
    the rest off. Scrape the cooking grates clean.



  2. Place the flank steak on the hot side of the grill and cook
    until well charred on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip
    the steak and continue to cook until the second side is
    well charred, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer the steak
    to the cooler side of the grill, cover, and cook until the
    center of the steak registers 125°F for medium-rare, or
    135°F for medium, on an instant-read thermometer, about
    5 minutes longer. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with
    foil, and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes.

  3. Thinly slice the beef against the grain and transfer to a
    large bowl. Add the herbs, shallots, cucumber, bean
    sprouts, and reserved marinade and toss to combine.
    Serve immediately.
