  1. 4505 Flank Steak
  2. Prep Time: 45 minutes plus sitting overnight
  3. Cook Time: 10-24 minutes
  4. Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  5. Yield: 1-3 lb
  6. Ingredients:
  7. 1 Beef flank steak (AKA Bavette)
  8. For the 4505 Rub:
  9. 2 ½ tsp Peppercorn
  10. 1 tsp cumin
  11. 1 tsp curry powder
  12. 1 tsp coriander
  13. 1 tsp fennel powder
  14. ¼ Tbs Schechun peppercorn
  15. ½ Tbs mustard seed
  16. ½ tsp ginger powder
  17. ½ Tbs Pimenton
  18. 1 ½ Tbs brown sugar
  19. 1 1/3 Tbs salt
  20. Cooking Directions:
  21. Mix all dry rub ingredients together thoroughly.
  22. Remember it is called a rub, not a pat, and get the spices into all the nooks of the meat.
  23. Let meat sit at least an hour, overnight is even better.
  24. Get meat to room temperature.
  25. If you are grilling, get the grill very hot and cook about five minutes on each side for a rare flank (rare is the best, for this cut, in my opinion). Cook eight to twelve minutes a side for medium to well. You can always use the old ‘hand trick’ to test doneness of meat by feel, so you don’t have to hack into it (here is a link to a good explanation of this trick.)
  26. If you are cooking the flank in a pan, coat the pan with oil to smoking point and then cook the same way as you would on the grill.
  27. Let the meat rest a few minutes to seal in juices.
  28. Slice and serve.
