Grilled Flank Steak Crostini with Mustard Greens
Recipe courtesy Michael Chiarello

Ingredients
1 flank steak
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon garlic, minced (about 3 cloves)
12 cups greens, such as mustard, chard or spinach, washed
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Hot sauce, optional
1 baguette, sliced on the bias into long thin slices

Instructions

Bring the flank steak to room temperature.
Prepare an outdoor grill or preheat a stovetop grill pan.
Season both sides of the steak with salt and freshly ground pepper. Drizzle 1
tablespoon of the olive oil on 1 side of the meat and lightly rub it in.
Sprinkle half of the oregano on top and place the steak on the grill, herb side
up.
Grill on 1 side for about 5 minutes or until the juices of the meat come to the
surface of the steak. Turn the steak once and continue cooking for about 1 to 2
minutes, or until done to your taste. Let rest for a few minutes.
Meanwhile: In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil until hot. Add the
garlic and saute about 1 minute, or until light brown. Add the greens and toss
occasionally.
After about 3 minutes, the greens will have cooked down. Season with a large pinch
of salt and a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper. Cook another 3 minutes. Splash

greens with 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar and hot sauce, to taste, if using.
Transfer the greens to a plate.
For the crostini: Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil and season
with salt and pepper. Place the slices on the grill or grill pan and cook until
crispy, about 1 minute on each side.
Cut the flank steak across the grain in 1/4-inch slices. Place a slice of steak on
top of each crostini, top each with the greens and finish with a drizzle of olive
oil and hot sauce, as desired. Can be served warm or at room temperature.
