CHILI RUBBED FLANK STEAK
Did you know that Christopher Columbus brought the first chili pepper to Europe from the New World? This is Texas style cookin'! You can use a spoon or spatula to put on the rub to avoid getting the spicy rub all over your hands. If chipotles are not available, you can use jalapenos or other red chilis. This is great served with Lone Star coleslaw and jalapeno cornbread.

Steps:
- In a processor, pulse the garlic with the onion, lime juice, chili powder, chili, salt, pepper and cumin. With the machine on, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until a wet paste forms. Rub the paste all over the steak. Marinade at room temperature for at least 2 hours. If refrigerating, can leave overnight but bring to room temp before cooking. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Grill the steak over a medium-high fire for 10 minutes, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 125° to 130° for medium rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut the steak across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the meat on a platter. Squeeze 2 lime wedges over the steak slices, then top with the shredded cheese and cilantro. Serve with the warm tortillas.
Tips:
- Opt for flank steak with a nice, even marbling throughout for optimal flavor and tenderness.
- Use a sharp knife to create shallow diagonal scores on both sides of the steak to allow the marinade to penetrate deeper.
- If you don't have time to marinate the steak for 8 hours, even 30 minutes of marinating will impart noticeable flavor.
- Don't overcook the steak! Flank steak is best cooked quickly over high heat to maintain its tenderness and medium-rare doneness.
- Let the cooked steak rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness.
- Serve the chili-rubbed flank steak with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
