<\/p>\nFlank Steak with Merlot Mushrooms and Pearl Onions over Toasted Polenta<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cooking spray<\/p>\n
2 flank steaks, about 1 lb. each<\/p>\n
Salt<\/p>\n
Freshly ground black pepper<\/p>\n
2 tsp. garlic powder<\/p>\n
2 tsp. onion powder<\/p>\n
1 (11-oz.) tube prepared polenta, plain or seasoned, sliced crosswise into 1-inch thick slices<\/p>\n
1 T. olive oil<\/p>\n
2 C. frozen or jarred pearl onions<\/p>\n
2 C. cremini mushrooms, sliced<\/p>\n
1 tsp. dried thyme<\/p>\n
1 C. Merlot or dry red wine<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Heat a stove-top grill pan or griddle with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat to preheat. Season both sides of flank steaks with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Place steaks on hot pan and cook 5 minutes per side for medium meat. Let steaks rest 10 minutes before slicing crosswise into 1\/4-inch thick slices. While the steaks are cooking, season both sides of polenta with salt and black pepper. Arrange slices alongside steak for the last few minutes of cooking; cooking slices 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. While the steak and polenta are cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pearl onions and cook 3 minutes, until golden brown stirring with a spoon. Add mushrooms and cook 3 minutes, until mushrooms soften. Add thyme and cook 1 minute, until fragrant. Add wine and bring to a simmer, for 5 minutes, until sauce reduces to 1\/4 C.. Serve half of the steak over toasted polenta slices with all of the onion-mushroom mixture spooned over top. Reserve remaining steak for sandwiches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
