Inclined to head for steaks that have worked over their lifetime I do however occasionally enjoy a fillet steak, roasted to medium-rare and well-rested that it delivers its juicy suppleness. Make a Steak salad for two: Combine ¼ cup olive oil with 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard and the juice of a small lemon. Season to taste and serve as a dressing over 6 ounces of sliced cooked steak with tomato, fresh leafy greens and steamed broccoli. Sometimes I use this same dressing over an easy brunch plate with green beans, a boiled egg and whichever kind of cheese I have in the refrigerator. Add ingredients for the sauce into a bowl of a food processor and pulse for 1-2 minutes until slightly smooth. Add the avocado if you prefer a creamier consistency. Serve with the steak and prepared vegetables.Heat a large cast iron skillet to medium-high. Sear Flank Steak for 5-8 minutes per side until a meat thermometer reads 145°F. Tip: Turn steaks and roasts with tongs. Avoid using a fork, which will pierce the beef and result in the loss of flavorful juices. Turn off the heat and transfer flank steak to a cutting board to rest while preparing the sauce. This is one of the early bottles of Dale’s Seasoning.

They started cooking with it and people started liking it. I don’t know how they came up with the recipe, to be honest.” Customers at Dale’s Cellar Restaurant loved the flavorful steak marinade so much they started taking some home. “People came in and said, ‘Can I have some of that sauce?'” Seigel said. “They got a bottle of Coke and filled it up.” Later, Levine began bottling the secret marinade and selling it over the counter at the restaurant.

In 2020, Dale’s Seasoning introduced Dale’s Steak Sauce, a table condiment that can be used not only on steaks, burgers and hot dogs, but also as a dipping sauce for fries.

During the Summer months Flank Steak is delicious when grilled: Place Steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 11 to 16 minutes (over medium heat on a preheated gas grill, 16 to 21 minutes) for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally. Carve across the grain into thin slices.Perhaps one of the most recognisable steaks, the fillet of beef sits inside the sirloin and is one of the least used muscles, hence its melt-in-the-mouth tenderness.
