Servings: 4 Prep 15 mins Grill About 10 mins

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces beef flank steak
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 1 medium cucumber, seeded and cut into 2-1/2- to 3-inch strips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon snipped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Make It

1. Score a diamond pattern by making shallow diagonal cuts on both sides of beef. Season beef lightly with salt and pepper. For a charcoal grill, place the beef on the grill rack over medium-hot coals. Cover and grill about 10 minutes or until desired doneness. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium-high. Add beef to grill rack. Cover and grill as above.) Remove from grill rack; let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl toss together the cucumber, oil, dill, vinegar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

3. Thinly slice steak across the grain. Serve beef slices over cucumber mixture. Makes 4 servings.
