Harissa and Brown sugar marinated flank steak
1/2 cup grapeseed or olive oil
The juice of one lemon
1 garlic clove (pressed or shredded on the microplane)
1 1/2 tablespoons Brown sugar (preferably organic)
1 teaspoon Harissa
1 whole red scallion sliced thinly
2 tablespoons cucumber juice
3 tablespoons thinly chopped chives for garnish
1 pound flank steak (bring room temperature befor grilling)
Forbidden Rice Salad
1 cup black forbidden rice
1 1/3 cups water (to boil)
3 handfuls mixed greens
1 whole cucumber diced seeds removed
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons oil
1 pinch kosher salt
1 pinch fresh ground pepper
1 pinch red chili flake
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil

1
Whisk the lemon juice, garlic, brown sugar, harissa, scallion, cucumber juice and grapeseed oil together and pour over steak to marinate then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. You'll want to bring it up to room temperature before grilling so give it a half an hour to warm up before hand.
2
Boil the water and rice then cover and let simmer for 30 minutes. Once cooked fluff rice and remove to a bowl to chill (at least an hour), or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
3
to make the dressing whisk the rice vinegar, chili flake, salt, pepper and honey until incorporated then whisk in the grapeseed oil slowly.
4
generously salt the steak with kosher salt and on a piping hot grill or grill pan sear the flank steak on each side for 6 minutes flipping only once. When you remove from grill let the steak rest for at least 20 minutes to soak in it's own juices and also let it chill a bit.
5
Toss diced cucumber, red scallion, 3/4 of the rice and mixed greens in a bowl with 3 tablespoons of the dressing, tase, add more if needed.
6
Slice the flank steak very thin against the grain, serve next to or on top of the salad, garnish with chives.
