Grilled Flank Steak with Garlic and Wild Mushrooms

Perfect for a weeknight meal or for an evening with friends, your family will love this easy and delicious grilled flank steak with garlic and wild mushrooms.

I love the idea of bringing the family together for a home-cooked meal on Sunday. When I was little, we would go to my grandmother’s house for the weekly meal. You could smell her delicious cooking while you were walking up to her apartment.

Today, the hubby, kids and I get together with our extended family at least once a week to share a meal, making great memories for my kids. Getting the family together to share a meal has always been a passion of mine.

Why this recipe is so great

My family is a fan of steak. Yes, we are carnivores at heart. And grilled steak is one of those meals that we all love whole heartedly.

Flank Steak is a terrific cut of meat to use when you are in a hurry. It’s a thinner cut of meat, but still full of flavor and not overly expensive as the premium cuts. This is great when you are feeding a family of five! I used a 2lb slab of meat and cut it in half, for faster even cooking.

And mushrooms! I adore mushrooms. And not just plain white mushrooms, but all kinds of mushrooms like oyster, shitake and enoki mushrooms. These babies have different textures and such tremendous flavor.

It’s a quick and easy meal you can whip up for any day of the week.

Ingredients you need

• Beef flank steak: You can also use skirt or a flat iron steak.
• Assorted mushrooms: You can use as little or as much mushrooms you want. Choose only white mushrooms or mix in shitake, oyster, portobello or enoki mushrooms.
• Butter: Butter adds such delicious flavor, but you can also use extra virgin olive oil or a mixture of the two.
• Flavorings: garlic, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, green onions, salt, pepper

Step-by-step directions

1. Season both sides of flank steak with salt and pepper and let it sit at room temperature for an hour. Always bring your meat to room temperature before cooking to allow it to cook evenly.

2. Heat your grill pan on high heat and melt 1 TBS butter. When butter is bubbly, add steaks and sear for 7 minutes.

3. Flip steaks over and cook until desired doneness, about 10 more minutes for medium-rare. NOTE: thicker cuts will require longer cooking times. Baste meat with juices while it is cooking.

4. While steak is cooking, cut button mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms into large slices. Separate oyster and enoki mushrooms from clumps. When steak is cooked to desired doneness, remove from heat and reserve on a serving platter.

5. In the hot pan where you were just cooking the steaks, melt 2 TBS butter and let butter get bubbly. Sauté sliced mushrooms for 3 minutes until browned, then add the garlic and oyster mushrooms. Cook for 2 more minutes, then remove from heat.

6. Stir Worcestershire sauce and remaining 1 TBS butter into the sauce. Continue to stir until butter has completely melted. Gently stir in enoki mushrooms. Pour the buttered mushrooms over the reserved steaks. Garnish with fresh thyme and green onion slices.

Expert Tips and Recipe FAQS

Cooking flank steak on a grill is equally easy to do. Just preheat your grill on high. Place steaks on hot grill and cook steaks about 6 to 7 minutes on each side. Flank steak is best served medium-rare, as it can toughen if over-cooked.

While the steak is cooking, you can also prepare the mushrooms on the grill using a cast iron pan.

To cook on a grill, preheat grill on high. Place steaks on hot grill and cook until browned, about 6 to 7 minutes. Turn steaks over and continue grilling 6 to 7 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Flank steak is best served medium-rare, as it can toughen if over-cooked. While the steak is cooking, you can prepare the mushrooms on the grill using a cast iron pan.

Cooking Tips: Enoki mushrooms do not need much heat to cook, so they are added right before serving.
