How to Make Tender Pan-Seared Flank Steak with Mustard-Chive Butter

[@chrism6159]

1. Mix 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar and 1/2 tsp pepper together and rub over both sides of meat after patting dry. 2. Bake at 225°F for 30-40min until internal temp is 120°F 3. Pan-sear in skillet with veg. Oil (or a cast iron on the stove with no oil was perfect) one minute per side twice, until internal temp is 130°-135° for a medium cooked steak

Perfect recipe, truly outstanding flavor. The Flank steak tastes like a cross between a strip, ribeye and prime rib. I followed this Flank Steak recipe exactly like the video. I have never purchased Flank Steak in my life, was scared too. now its my go to. I did not bother with the butter mix topping the second time I cooked the recipe, the steak alone provided plenty of flavor and juice just with the rub and cook method. Thank you! Byron

[@colleend2977]

How long do you cook them while flipping every 60 seconds, they never say. Thanks!

Thank you to the people putting the recipe in the comments!

This was HEAVEN!!! I found thin slices work best but it melts in your mouth as if it were butter. Thank you cuz I was at a loss on how to cook these after buying them while on sale

Made it today! WONDERFUL! My only variation? Instead of the lemon zest (I did use the juice and dijon and chives) I used some horseradish! Yummy!

[@AlmostReady504]

So without a meat thermometer approximately how long do you put it in the oven at 225° before searing it stovetop??

It says 30-40 minutes above

I'm here because my wife is in Costco asking me if I want Flank Steak, because it's quite inexpensive. It's a yes from me.

[@Shelsight]

I’m in the UK and the absolute best flank steaks we get are in the big packs from Costco (they’re called ‘rump skirt’ here btw) The Costco ones are even slightly better than from our local butcher. I’d just never buy them from a supermarket. Butcher or Costco only. Treat them right and they’re tasty and lean as a NY strip.

How long does the 120 take about? I do not have a nice reader like you do! Thank you.

[@dlfendel2844]

It is all about how cold the meat is when you start, Psyche1118. WHen I made it just now, with a probe thermometer as shown (and btw, they are NOT expensive--check Amazon etc. etc.) my meat was 37 degrees out of the fridge after seasoning, so it took about 30-35 minutes to get to 140 at the 225 setting as shown. Your mileage, meat, and oven may vary.

[@XavierKatzone]

About 10-12 minutes at 275 degrees, depending on cut. Error on the underdone side if you're winging it w/o a thermo. Once it's climbing in the teens, it'll jump up fast. I set the alarm for 112 degrees and then stand by and watch closely. Pull it at 118 as it'll still climb once out, and get that probe if you're really going to use this great technique successfully.

[@evanhaines8431]

That looks amazing. I'm excited to try this myself!

[@XavierKatzone]

Good one - enjoyed it tonight. I'd recommend cutting down on salt a bit and adding garlic powder to either the dry rub or the butter compound. And a blue cheese spread would have been a good alternative to the butter.

[@colleend2977]

Yum! Great idea.

[@MrChristian]

Does anyone know how often the steaks were flipped? I think I counted 3 times but that part wasn’t very clear. Also how long did you leave the meat in the preheated oven? I don’t have their kind of meat thermometer

[@MrEvtmazda]

4 times

[@TheTuffOnes]

They tend to use a LOT of things we regular people don't have in our kitchens. I was looking for how long they left them in the oven as I certainly don't have one of those fancy thermometers. While I absolutely adore the series and have learned a lot, the very worst episode I've ever seen was Italian Classics, Season 19, Episode 21 regarding Pape Francese Italian Bread, It seems like it would cost about $500 just to make a loaf of that bread with all the fancy gadgets that they have 🙄 just to make a loaf of bread. Seems when Julia asks the cook about alternatives to what is being used gadget wise, the answer is always, "it only costs a few dollars and no, you can't use anything else". I prefer Cook's Country overall as they don't act so "elite" and over our regular kitchen heads. I can't even afford the mixer and food processor let alone all kinds of thermometers, etc

[@MrChristian]

@@TheTuffOnes it’s the same company/same people. But I guess the recipes are more homey and rustic? On the thermometers, anything is better than nothing, even a cheap $5/10 one. With that said, the Thermopops by the same company are about $30 and they’re great. The problem w/ just giving us times is that there are so many variables including the weight of the item and whether the stated temperature on the oven is correct

[@TheTuffOnes]

@@MrChristian I know same company/same people. I purchased both cookbooks. One is so huge and heavy (ATK) it's absolutely impossible to use and glossary of cookware WAY too expensive while the other (CC) is reasonable and has reasonable references. The latter, Cook's Country cookbook is actually far more likeable and I actually defer to it. The ATK is WAY too big and heavy and the recipes are too long winded. I guess the brand caters to two audiences.

Try using lime instead. Better flavor, and less citrus impact.

[@emilyrhyne8540]

How long were the steaks in the oven for?

[@ember3579]

They used the meat thermometer to gauge, not a timer. It'll vary from steak to steak based on size and cut. If you want a specific doneness, you go by temperature. If they weren't going to sear them, then 130* F would be for medium rare, but since they are searing them, they'll pull before then so the searing process can finish up without pushing past that. Incidentally, are these oven thermometers good for sticking into meat on a pan, or will pan contact on the wire screw them up?

[@TheTruthWholeTruthNothingButTh]

Notice how you still didn't get an answer.. Lol that's the worst thing about this channel they don't tell you times for vital steps I've had to go elsewhere many times it kinda sucks

[@ember3579]

@@TheTruthWholeTruthNothingButTh Different chunks of meat will cook to a specific doneness at different times. Unless you're buying the exact same cut from the exact same supplier as whomever you're talking to, it's all generalities. The only way to get consistent across all of this is to use a meat thermometer.

[@TheTruthWholeTruthNothingButTh]

@@ember3579 you can at least say a good rule of thumb is 5 min per inch or SOMETHING

[@ember3579]

@@TheTruthWholeTruthNothingButTh Even that depends on variables that you might not have. On my stove, 3 minutes then flip 2 times, then ~2 to 4 depending on preferred doneness works for steaks, but if I have a different pan, run on a different temperature, or have the aforementioned slightest change in the meat whatsoever it can make the difference between rare and charcoal.

WHYYYYYY did you not make an a la minute pan sauce by deglazing that skillet with a hit of water, broth or wine, reducing to a glaze, and THEN enrich the sauce once pan is off heat by swirling in the chive butter till just melted?!?!?! Slice meat, pour a bit of sauce, garnish with more chive, and boom! We always score our big flanks, deeper on the thicker end, and then season, rub, and grill. That way we have meat that runs from more well done, all the way to rare. Good for group cookouts and such. Less fusty, less equipment.

Maybe slice it thinner, and then when you sear it do it faster as well as letting it sit for a minute before you cut so the juices stay in the meat.
