Categories: Miamiherald, Meat/beef
Yield: 4 Servings

4 md Baking potatoes
12 cl Garlic; smashed, peeled and
-roughly chopped
1 c Olive oil
2 ts Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 Portobello mushrooms, stem
-ends trimmed and caps wiped
-clean
2 lb Flank steak; trimmed of all
-surface fat

Place one oven rack on lowest level and one rack on
the next level above. Heat oven to 500 degrees F.
Forty minutes before roasting the steak and mushrooms,
use a fork to prick the potatoes once or twice each.
Place them directly on the sides of the upper rack of
the oven, allowing enough room for the mushrooms,
which will cook on the same rack. Put the garlic in
the blender or food processor with 4 tablespoons of
the oil. Blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides
with a rubber spatula. Add remaining oil and salt and
pepper. Blend until smooth. Put the mushrooms in a
12-by-8-by-1 1/2-inch roasting pan. Using the spatula,
scrape out half the garlic mixture into the pan. Rub
the puree into both sides of each mushrooms cap. Allow
to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Put steak in
shallow container large enough to hold it. Pour
remaining garlic mixture over and rub into both sides
of steak. Let marinate on kitchen counter at least 30
minutes or until meat comes to room temperature.
Before roasting the steak and mushrooms, put a
14-by-12-by-2-inch roasting pan on the lower oven rack
and preheat for 10 minutes. Remove pan. Immediately,
put the steak with all of its marinade in the pan.
Place on the lower rack, the thickest part of the
steak to the rear of the oven. Place the mushrooms on
the upper rack at the same time. For rare, roast the
steak on one side for 6 minutes(for medium, 8
minutes). Turn the steak and ,ushrooms. Roast 6
minutes more. Remove steak, mushrooms and potatoes
from the oven. Let steak rest about 5 minutes, Slice
thinly against the grain.
