Flank steak, where have you been all my life? Rachael's contribution to our diet last night was Dry Rubbed Flank Steak with Basil Butter from the June/July issue with Every Day with Rachael Ray. We are big grillers at our house I have no idea why we have never grilled flank steak. It was fabulous! The rub was the perfect mix of sweet/spicy. The basil butter was amazing - mostly because I pulled the basil from the garden right before eating it. What's better than that? Sadly those garden days will soon end here in Nebraska.
The key component here though is not an ingredient - it's the perfection in which my husband cooked this steak. Typically he overcooks which I suspect has more to do with his ability to be easily distracted than it does with cooking skill. We prefer our meat on the rare side and I suspect with this cut overcooking is the difference between enjoying a delicious meal vs. grilling up a dog treat - which is what this steak would have been if he had overcooked it.
Another 5 star Rachael Ray night! Rachael's not with us tonight but she'll be back Friday for Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs.
And with all of this talk of steak and butter - I have not forgotten that the goal here is weight loss!
