Instructions
Whisk together lemon juice, vegetable oil, ground cumin and paprika. Season to taste with salt.
Add a third of this mixture to carrots and parsley. Toss to combine, adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed, and refrigerate carrot salad.
Place flank steak in a resealable plastic bag.
Add another third of the vinaigrette, along with 1 tablespoon ras el hanout. Seal bag and squish around to combine. Refrigerate for at least four hours, turning bag occasionally.
Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Alternatively, set half the burners on a gas grill to the highest heat setting, cover, and preheat for 10 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate.
While grill is heating, whisk together the remaining third of vinaigrette with ground cinnamon and set aside.
Remove flank steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. (Discard marinade.) Grill, flipping regularly until medium rare (135°F), 8 to 10 minutes total. Allow the flank steak rest, covered with foil, for 5 to 10 minutes.
Cut the steak on the bias across the grain.
Drizzle meat with reserved vinaigrette and a light shower of coarse salt.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Steak. 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. One wine you could try is Nickel & Nickel Harris Vineyard Merlot. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 40 dollars.

Bright red fruits, candied blueberry, Santa Rosa plum and menthol aromas all blend together to intoxicate the nose as the 2016 Harris Vineyard Merlot wafts from the glass. On the palate, a juicy and fruity entry is supported by chewy tannins and a balancing acidity, creating lush layers that coat the tongue and produce a soft, elegant finish.
