While the mushrooms cook, prepare the grill for high direct heat: If you are using a gas grill, turn it on, cover it, and let it heat up for at least 10 minutes. (You want the grill to be very hot, which can difficult to do on a gas grill if the grill hasn't pre-heated long enough.)

Ingredients you will need

Mushrooms

Equipment you will use

Grill

If you are using a charcoal grill, get the coals very hot. The grill is hot enough when you put your hand about an inch over the grill and you can only hold it there for 1 second.

When the grill is hot, clean the grill grates with a wire scraper and then moisten a paper towel with olive oil. Using tongs, wipe down the grill grates with the oil-soaked towel.

Sear the flank steak on one side: While the grill is heating up, massage olive oil into the steak. You want the steak well coated. When the grill is hot enough, place the steak on a hot part of the grill.

Sear for 4-6 minutes without moving. If you want a cross-hatch pattern of grill marks, about halfway through grilling, gently lift up a corner of the steak with tongs to check for grill marks, if you have them, pick up the steak and put it back down on the grill at a 90° angle (a quarter turn) from where it had been.

Flip and grill steak on other side: Turn the steak over. Touch it to test for doneness (see the finger technique for checking for doneness). You might only need a couple minutes on this side, depending on how thick your flank steak is.

Flank steak is best rare or medium rare; it becomes tough if it gets too well done. Try to undercook the meat just a little, as it will continue to cook a bit while it is off the heat resting.

Meat

When the flank steak is almost done, take it off the heat and let it rest. Grind black pepper over it.

Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Flank Steak. Beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner cuts of beef go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier cuts can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. You could try Wild & Wilder The Exhibitionist Merlot. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.
