Flank Steak

Chips

House Salad

Mushroom Sauce

Method

Flank Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Flank Steak

    Preheat the grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the flank steak with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Flank Steak

    Grill or sear the flank steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium rare, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).

  3. 3

    Rest the Steak

    Remove from heat and let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Chips

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and slice the potatoes into thin strips.

  2. 5

    Fry the Chips

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot. Fry the potato strips in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

House Salad

  1. 6

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes (halved), and sliced cucumber.

  2. 7

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

Mushroom Sauce

  1. 8

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and garlic, and sauté until mushrooms are tender and golden, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 9

    Make the Sauce

    Stir in heavy cream, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
