Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Remove the flank steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Rub this seasoning mix evenly over both sides of the flank steak.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
Place the seasoned flank steak onto the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer a different level of doneness.
Remove the steak from the heat and place it on a cutting board. Tent it with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
While the steak is resting, prepare the horseradish sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well-combined and smooth.
Just before serving, stir the chopped chives into the horseradish sauce for added freshness.
Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
Serve the sliced steak with a dollop of horseradish sauce on the side. Optionally, drizzle the pan juices over the top for added flavor.
