Instructions
Place red onion in a bowl of ice water; let stand 30 minutes.
Drain. Return to bowl, add the lemon juice and sugar; set aside.
In small bowl combine rosemary, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper; rub mixture and 1 teaspoon oil into steak. (
Let stand while potatoes cook.)
Place potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with cold water. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer.
Place a mesh colander or steamer over pan; add green beans, and cover. Cook 5 minutes.
Remove colander, and transfer beans to a plate to keep warm. Continue cooking potatoes until soft when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes total.
Drain, reserving 3/4 cup cooking water. Return potatoes to pan.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus 1/2 cup cooking water; mash the potatoes, adding more reserved water, if necessary.
Meanwhile, heat broiler with rack 4 inches from heat; broil flank steak to medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
Let rest 5 minutes; slice across grain into 1/8-inch slices. Arrange on a dinner plate; serve with potatoes, pickled onion, and green beans.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Steak on the menu? Try pairing with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. You could try Nickel & Nickel Harris Vineyard Merlot. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 40 dollars per bottle.
