Balsamic Marinated Flank Steak

Go to Recipe

Grilled Flank Steak with Corn, Tomato and Asparagus Salad

Go to Recipe

Mark Fuller prepares this steak in the spring and summer to showcase the Pacific Northwest's iconic Walla Walla onions and morel mushrooms. The tomato-and-asparagus salad he serves alongside the beef would be wonderful all on its own as a first course.

Cola-Marinated Flank Steak with Frito Chilaquiles

Go to Recipe

To make his version of chilaquiles (fried tortilla chips lightly cooked in salsa), Jamie Bissonnette unabashedly opts for Fritos. “They have great corn flavor, and they are crunchier than I could ever get tortillas by frying them myself.”

Flank Steak with Herbed Salsa

Go to Recipe

Flank Steak with Chimichurri

Credit: © Fredrika Stjärne
Go to Recipe

Flank steak lends itself to an assertive sauce because it has such a strong and rich flavor," says Colby Garrelts, chef at Bluestem in Kansas City, Missouri. For this chimichurri that he makes at home with his wife (and Bluestem pastry chef), Megan, Colby swaps out the usual red wine vinegar with sherry vinegar and makes the garlicky herb sauce extra-piquant with capers.

Chile-Rubbed Flank Steak with White Polenta

Go to Recipe

Jing Tio hand-delivers bottles of Spanish arbequina olive oil to chef Ron Siegel of the Dining Room at the Ritz-Carlton in San Francisco. Siegel uses the artichoke-inflected oil to marinate flank steak. The oil has such a wonderful flavor that Siegel also uses it in place of butter in the soft polenta that accompanies the beef.

Lemon-Garlic-Marinated Flank Steak

Credit: © Eva Kolenko
Go to Recipe

Chef Jimmy Bannos, Jr., of Chicago's The Purple Pig, swears by his double-marinating technique. Here, he marinates his steak before it goes on the grill in a tangy lemon marinade and then gives it a quick dunk in a clean batch of marinade when it's hot off the grill. Bonus: The high amount of acid in the marinade also makes tougher cuts like flank and skirt steak extra tender.

Bruce Aidells, a cookbook author and the owner of Aidells Sausage Company, likes this recipe because it looks hard to make but isn't. And it's great for all seasons. In the summer Aidells grills the steak in a kettle barbecue and in the winter he roasts it in the oven

Flank Steak Over Corn-Kernel Polenta

Go to Recipe

The brown glaze left in the pan after sauteing the steak is the base for a highly concentrated sauce. A cup of white wine and a half cup of brandy deglaze the pan and then too strong, but drizzled over the steak, it's divine.

Steak Pizzaiola

Go to Recipe

In Italy, the briefly cooked fresh tomato sauce called pizzaiola is traditionally served atop steak. We use sirloin, but if you'd prefer to use flank steak or skirt steak, just reduce the cooking time. The sauce is also good on pasta.
