Flank steak with sauce verte and Blanche de Chambly marinade, buratta cheese and grilled lemons

Preparation

• Remove the flank steak from it’s  packaging and put in a big airtight container.
• In a big blender, add the fresh herbs followed by the garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper then reduce to a smooth sauce at maximum speed for 1 minute. Stir with a spoon and blend again to make sure you have a perfect texture.
• Add the beer and blend for a few seconds. Taste and rectify seasonning if necessary.
• Pour half of the sauce verte on the steak and put the rest in the fridge. ( To baste and present! ). Close lid of container and shake to mix well. Put in fridge for 3 hours. Remove meat from fridge about 30 minutes before cooking so it can be lukewarm.
• Preheat the BBQ at 400°F and reduce fire intensity by half.
• Split the rest of the sauce verte in half and use one half to baste the meat as often as possible!
• Place the flank steaks on the grill and cook for 3 minutes. Rotate meat by 45° then cook for another 3 minutes. ( Baste non-stop! )
• Add the lemons, flesh side down, and let grill for the rest of the cooking time.
• Flip steaks over and repeat process : 3 minutes then 45° rotation then another 3 minutes. At this point, they should be medium-rare! ***I strongly suggest you check doneness earlier, especially if your steaks are thinner, cooking time will very depending on thickness!
• When meat is cooked the way you like it, catapult it in a big plate and cover with aluminium foil. Let rest for 5 minutes.
• Cut the meat in diagonal in 2cm thick strips. Throw that beautiful meat in a nice big plate, add the grilled lemons around and put the buratta in the center. Add some sauve verte all over the place and sprinkle everything with fleur de sel!!! Add a splash of grilled lemon juice, to taste.

*** Trick : Always have a spray bottle filled with water when cooking on the bbq! The oil in the marinade will bring flames pretty high so use the water to stop it from burning your meat!
