Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 cups fresh arugula
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 orange, zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for best results.
Preheat an outdoor grill or grilling pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off.
Grill the steak for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on your desired level of doneness.
Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
In a large bowl, place the arugula. Add the juice of one lemon and toss to lightly coat the leaves.
For the citrus parsley chili chutney, combine the orange zest, orange juice, fresh parsley, red chili flakes, and cumin powder in a bowl. Mix well.
To serve, place a bed of arugula on each plate, top with sliced flank steak, and drizzle the citrus parsley chili churro over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Flank Steak with Arugula and Citrus Parsley Chili Churro.
