Hawaiian Grilled Flank Steak — Alexandra Hedin | Family Friendly Recipes & Cocktails

Who else is craving a vacation? Or just to travel somewhere outside of our neighborhood? We’ve booked a trip to Hawaii for as soon as school gets out, which can’t come fast enough but also seems like it’s coming at record speed. Maybe because the kids weren’t in school for so many months?

Regardless we’re ready to travel. We’re starting with a few recipes that let us dream about travel. Let’s all go to Hawaii this week.

Hawaiian Flank Steak

with Spicy Pineapple Salsa

serves 4

STEP 1

Pour rice, coconut milk, and water into a pot on the stove. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer about 20 minutes until all liquid is absorbed.

STEP 2

Rinse and pat dry flank steak. In a small bowl, combine together half of the ginger, half of the garlic, coffee, and salt and pepper. Rub mixture all over steak getting into the crevices on both sides.

STEP 3

Preheat grill to high heat. Place steak on the grill and cook 6-8 minutes on each side until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees for medium doneness. Remove from grill and let rest 10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.

STEP 4

In a bowl, mix together pineapple, avocado, mango, and onion. Toss with remaining ingredients and let rest 10 minutes.

STEP 5

Combine together soy sauce, pineapple juice, and remaining ginger and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and continue cooking until reduced by half. Pour glaze over sliced steak.

Serve with pineapple salsa.
