Recipe Introduction
Usually broiled or grilled, flank steak is cooked on the stove here, then topped with a garlicky rosemary and mushroom ragout.
1 1/2 lb flank steak
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
3/4 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
12 oz sliced mixed fresh mushrooms (6 cups)
1 (14-oz) can diced tomatoes in juice
Splenda--just a little bit
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200�F.
Pat steak dry. Mix together salt and pepper in a small bowl, then rub three fourths of salt mixture on both sides of steak.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then saut� meat, turning over once, 6 to 8 minutes total for rare (depending on thickness of steak). Transfer to a baking pan and keep warm in oven while making ragout.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in uncleaned skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then saut� garlic, rosemary, and red-pepper flakes, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and remaining salt mixture and saut�, stirring frequently and scraping up any brown bits, until mushrooms are tender but still juicy, 6 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes with their juice and sugar, then simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by about two thirds, 5 to 8 minutes.
Transfer steak to a cutting board and pour any meat juices from baking pan into mushroom ragout. Holding knife at a 45-degree angle, cut steak across the grain into thin slices. Serve topped with ragout.
Makes 4 servings.
