Recipe by Woman's Day Kitchen Affordable flank steak cooks up quickly on the grill and is fantastically tender when brushed with orange juice and sliced thin (against the grain).

Ingredients

1 flank steak
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. grated fresh ginger
Kosher salt and pepper
1 navel orange
1 c. couscous
4 scallions

Instructions

Heat grill to medium-high. Rub the steak with 1 Tbsp oil, then the ginger. Season with 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper and let sit for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, using a vegetable peeler, remove 2 strips of orange zest. Thinly slice the zest and transfer to a medium bowl. Squeeze the juice from the orange into a small bowl; set aside. Add the couscous to the bowl with the zest. Add 1 cup tap water, cover and let sit for 10 minutes.
Grill the steak, occasionally brushing with the orange juice, to desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.
Fluff the couscous with a fork and fold in the scallions, remaining 1 Tbsp oil and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper. Serve with the steak.
