Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your salt-aged flank steak. Use paper towels to gently pat the surface of the meat and absorb any excess moisture or blood. Properly dabbing away moisture is key to achieving a clean flavor without any gamey taste.
Step 2
Heat your pan over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil or butter. Carefully place the flank steak into the hot pan. You should hear a satisfying ‘sizzle’ as the meat hits the pan. Sear the steak, allowing the surface to develop a beautiful golden-brown crust. Cooking on high heat initially helps to lock in the juices.
Step 3
Continue to cook the steak, flipping it occasionally to achieve your desired level of doneness. If using a grill pan, the characteristic grill marks will make the steak look even more appealing. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your steak and the heat of your pan. (For medium-rare, aim for about 3-4 minutes per side for a thicker cut.)
Step 4
While the steak is cooking, prepare the king oyster mushroom by slicing it into desired pieces. Add the mushroom slices to the same pan you used for the steak. Season the mushrooms lightly with salt and finish with a generous grind of coarse black pepper. Grilling them alongside the steak infuses them with delicious flavors.
