Marinated and Grilled Buffalo Flank Steak with “Caesar” Butter, Morels and Asparagus

Directions

Buffalo Flank Steak Marinade

1. Combine all the above ingredients in a nonreactive dish. Add the flank steak to the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate and let marinate for 1 to 6 hours.

“Caesar"” Butter

1. In a small bowl, add the above ingredients and mash together to fully incorporate all the “Caesar"” flavors with the butter.

2. Pre-heat your grill to a high heat!
3. The buffalo flank steak is a thin and lean cut, so you will want to cook the steak quickly over high heat to get that beautiful, umami rich char without overcooking it.
4. When the grill is hot enough to only be able to hold your hand directly above the grate for a second or two, it's ready!
5. Remove the steak from the marinade and be sure to wipe off any of the garlic or thyme sprigs that may be adhering.
6. Grill for approximately 4 minutes on the first side, being sure to watch and contain any flare-ups. The steak should have a nice amount of char at this point. Flip the steak and finish to desired doneness. (We recommend a nice medium rare!)
7. Let the steak rest for as long as it was cooking (7-8 minutes)! This step is critical for retaining all those meaty juices.
8. While the steak is resting, throw some asparagus spears on the grill to char-up and sauté a handful of morel mushrooms with a few tablespoons of the “Caesar” butter.
9. Thinly slice the buffalo flank steak (always against the grain for tenderness), add your asparagus and morels, and place a few tablespoons of the “Caesar” butter on top to melt.
