The rustic texture of flank steak matches the meatiness of Syrah, and the pungent spices of North Africa loop into the same spices that often show up in the wine.

Flank Steak with Warm Moroccan Spices




Thayer Allyson Gowdy
 3/4 cup olive oil
 3/4 cup red wine vinegar
 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
 1 tablespoon minced garlic
 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
 1 teaspoon coriander
 1 teaspoon paprika
 1 teaspoon sugar
 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  About 2 lbs. beef flank steak, fat trimmed
Step 1
1

In a glass measure, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, ginger, garlic, salt, cinnamon, coriander, paprika, sugar, cumin, pepper, and cayenne.

Rinse flank steak and pat dry; put in a 1-gallon zip-lock plastic bag. Pour in all but about 3/4 cup of the marinade (save remaining for Grilled Eggplant and Pepper Salad); seal bag and turn to coat meat well. Chill for at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.

Lift steak from marinade (discard used marinade) and lay on a well-oiled grill over a solid bed of medium-hot coals or medium-high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand 1 to 2 in. above grill level only 3 to 4 seconds); close lid on gas grill. Cook steak, turning occasionally, until browned on both sides and still pink in the center (medium-rare; cut to test), 10 to 12 minutes total.
