Chef's Note

For the best flavor and texture, be sure to slice the flank steak against the grain at a 45-degree angle. This cuts through the muscle fibers, making each bite more tender. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, substitute the bourbon with apple juice mixed with 1 tsp of vanilla extract.

Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs flank steak

  • 1/3 cup bourbon

  • 3 tbsp brown sugar

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 2 bunches broccolini

  • 5 tbsp olive oil, divided

  • 2 tsp kosher salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves

  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

  • 2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves

  • 3 tbsp red wine vinegar

  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

  • 1 lemon, juiced

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions
  • 1

    Prepare the bourbon glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup bourbon, 3 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 minced garlic clove until sugar dissolves.

  • 2

    Place flank steak in a shallow dish and pour half the bourbon mixture over it, turning to coat. Reserve the remaining glaze for basting. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes while preparing other components.

  • 3

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet. Spread in a single layer.

  • 4

    Roast sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and caramelized.

  • 5

    While potatoes roast, prepare the chimichurri: Finely chop 1 cup parsley, 1/2 cup cilantro, and 2 tbsp oregano. Transfer to a bowl and add 2 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, juice of 1 lemon, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Stir to combine and set aside.

  • 6

    Trim the ends of the broccolini. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • 7

    Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Remove steak from marinade, pat dry with paper towels, and season with remaining salt and pepper.

  • 8

    Sear steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130-135°F). During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush with reserved bourbon glaze several times to create a caramelized crust.

  • 9

    Transfer steak to a cutting board and tent with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes.

  • 10

    While steak rests, use the same skillet to char the broccolini over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender-crisp with charred spots.

  • 11

    Slice the steak thinly against the grain at a 45-degree angle.

  • 12

    Serve sliced steak with roasted sweet potatoes and charred broccolini. Drizzle chimichurri sauce over the steak and vegetables.
