Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lime, plus wedges for serving
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1 1/2- to 2-pound flank steak
Vegetable oil, for the grill

Steps:

  • Grate the zest of 1 lime; cut the lime in half. Combine zest with the chili powder, brown sugar, thyme, cumin, chipotle powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Squeeze the zested lime over the steak and use the lime halves to rub the juice into the meat. Rub the spice mixture on both sides of the steak. Let stand at room temperature, 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a grill to medium high. Brush the grates with vegetable oil. Grill the steak until well browned, about 8 minutes. Flip and grill until a thermometer inserted sideways into the center registers 130 degrees F to 140 degrees F, 5 to 7 more minutes for medium rare (the thinner edges of the steak will be cooked to medium).
  • Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Season with salt and thinly slice against the grain. Serve with lime wedges.

  • Place steaks on hot grill or pan.

Nutrition Facts : Servingsize 1 serving

Tips:

  • Tenderize the Steak: To make the steak more tender, you can marinate it in a mixture of lime juice, olive oil, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Slice the Steak Thinly: Make sure to slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure it's tender and cooks evenly.
  • Cook the Steak Properly: To achieve the desired doneness, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. For medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C), medium at 145°F (63°C), or medium-well at 155°F (68°C).
  • Make the Dressing Ahead: You can prepare the dressing in advance and store it in the refrigerator for later use. This saves time and allows the flavors to meld.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, mint, and basil add a burst of flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When searing the steak, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the steak from cooking evenly and becoming tough.
  • Serve Immediately: This salad is best served immediately after assembling. The dressing can wilt the greens if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This chili lime steak salad is a flavorful and refreshing dish that's perfect for a quick and easy meal. The combination of tangy lime, spicy chili, and tender steak makes for a satisfying and delicious salad. With its vibrant colors and bold flavors, this salad is sure to impress your taste buds.
