Easy

A simple spice rub transforms basic flank steak into an easy, one-pan weeknight supper. Ready to serve in just 35 minutes, the tender steak cooks with the vegetables under the broiler. The vegetables continue cooking while the meat rests so both are ready at the same time. Wonderful over rice, the mixture is great as a fajita filling as well. In summer months, grill both steak and vegetables to enjoy the smoky hit from the grill and the outdoors. Cut the vegetables larger for the grill so they do not slip through the grates. Keep a jar of rub on hand. The super versatile spice mixture is terrific on fish, pork or chicken. Check the different proteins for proper cooktimes.

Ingredients:

  • 1½ tsp ground cumin
  • 1½ tsp granulated garlic
  • 1½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp chili powder, ancho variety
  • ¾ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • 1 pound uncooked lean flank steak
  • 1 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin, divided
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium yellow pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small uncooked zucchini, halved lengthwise, sliced into semicircles
  • 2 large uncooked red onions, thinly sliced


Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine cumin, garlic, salt, chili powder, paprika, cinnamon, and pepper. Rub steak with 1 teaspoon oil and 1 tablespoon spice mixture; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, toss vegetables with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and remaining spice mix.
  3. Preheat the broiler to high and position the rack close to the flame.
  4. Place steak in a large foil-lined roasting pan (or a pan coated with cooking spray); scatter vegetables around the steak.
  5. Broil steak until browned, flipping once, about 10 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to the desired degree of doneness; remove steak to a cutting board and loosely cover.
  6. Stir vegetables in pan; continue to broil until crisp-tender and beginning to brown, about 5 to 10 minutes more. Thinly slice steak against the grain and serve with vegetables.
  7. Serving Size: Yields about 3 ounces of steak and 1 cup of vegetables per serving.
