Chef's Note

The secret to a perfect flank steak is the rest time and the cut. Always slice against the muscle fibers (the grain); if you slice with the grain, the meat will be chewy regardless of how perfectly it is cooked.

Ingredients
  • 24 oz raw flank steak, trimmed of exterior fat

  • 1015 g raw sweet potatoes

  • 12 oz raw green beans

  • 3 count fresh rosemary sprigs

  • 5 count garlic cloves

  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 count shallot

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar

  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions
  • 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp honey, and 2 cloves of minced garlic to create the marinade.

  • 2

    Place the 24 oz raw flank steak in a shallow dish and coat thoroughly with the marinade. Let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes while you prepare the other components.

  • 3

    Wash and peel 1015g of sweet potatoes. Cut them into uniform 1/2-inch thick wedges.

  • 4

    Strip the leaves from 3 rosemary sprigs and finely chop them. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with the chopped rosemary, 1 tsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

  • 5

    Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 20-22 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until edges are crispy and centers are tender.

  • 6

    While potatoes cook, wash 12 oz of green beans and trim the stem ends. Finely dice 1 shallot and mince the remaining 3 cloves of garlic.

  • 7

    Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with 1/2 tsp olive oil. Remove the steak from the marinade, patting it slightly with a paper towel to prevent flare-ups (but leaving some flavor on).

  • 8

    Sear the steak in the hot skillet for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove the steak to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil to rest for at least 8 minutes.

  • 9

    In the same skillet (still over medium heat), add 1 tbsp unsalted butter. Once melted, add the diced shallot and 12 oz green beans. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until vibrant green and slightly blistered.

  • 10

    Add the minced garlic to the beans and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Deglaze the pan with 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the steak. Toss the beans in the liquid until it evaporates slightly and coats the beans.

  • 11

    Slice the rested flank steak thinly against the grain at a slight diagonal to ensure maximum tenderness.

  • 12

    Divide the steak, rosemary sweet potato wedges, and garlic green beans between two plates. Drizzle any remaining resting juices from the steak over the meat before serving.
