Flank steak and tomatoes

Flank steak and tomatoes make a delightful and flavorful combination. This dish is perfect for those who enjoy a spicy kick thanks to the addition of cumin and jalapeno pepper. The blend of tender steak with juicy cherry tomatoes and fresh coriander leaves offers a satisfying meal that's both nutritious and delicious.

Ingredients:

1.25 tsp ground cumin
3.75g
3/4 tsp salt
4.50g
1/8 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.22g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
16 oz flank steak
450g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 tsp garlic
5g
1 jalapeno pepper
14g
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
77g
1 cup coriander leaves
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Spice Rub: In a small bowl, combine the ground cumin, salt, and red pepper. Mix well to create the spice rub.
2. Season the Steak: Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels. Evenly rub the spice mixture on both sides of the steak. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes at room temperature to absorb the flavors.
3. Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, lightly coat the skillet with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
4. Cook the Steak: Add the seasoned flank steak to the skillet. Cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board covered with aluminum foil for about 5 minutes.
5. Prepare the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once heated, add the minced garlic and chopped jalapeno pepper. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Add Tomatoes: Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
7. Combine: Slice the rested flank steak against the grain into thin strips. Return the steak strips to the skillet with the tomatoes and give a gentle stir to combine all the ingredients. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through and combine flavors.
8. Serve and Garnish: Garnish with the chopped coriander leaves just before serving. Serve hot.

Tips:

- Make sure to preheat your skillet or grill pan to get a nice sear on the flank steak.

- Marinate the flank steak for at least 30 minutes to enhance its flavor.

- If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeno pepper before chopping it.

- Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.

- Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking before slicing to retain its juices.

- Serve with a side salad or over a bed of rice to complete the meal.

With its bold flavors and quick preparation, this flank steak and tomatoes recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen. The perfect balance of spices, meat, and fresh ingredients makes it a surefire hit for family dinners or gatherings with friends. Enjoy your meal!
