1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon English mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Steak and Salsa:
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for grill
3 ears of corn, shucked
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, seeds removed, finely chopped
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup fresh lime juice

Add onion, jalapeño, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice to corn and toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. Set salsa aside.
  • Meanwhile, coat steak with all of dry rub, packing on more than once if needed, and drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil to help rub adhere. Grill steak, turning occasionally and moving to a cooler spot on grill as needed to control flare-ups, until nicely browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 130°F, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon ground mustard
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon allspice
3 pounds flank steak

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes
  • Combine the mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, cayenne and allspice in a small bowl. Rub the flank steak all over with the mix and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Put the steak on the hot grill and cook 5 minutes per side. Remove and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak: Look for a steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick and has good marbling.
  • Use a dry rub: A dry rub will help to enhance the flavor of the steak and create a nice crust. You can use your favorite store-bought rub or make your own.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak will help to tenderize it and add even more flavor. You can marinate the steak for as little as 30 minutes or as long as overnight.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak is best cooked over high heat so that it can quickly sear and develop a nice crust. You can cook the steak on a grill, in a skillet, or under the broiler.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute and make the steak more tender.

Conclusion:

Dry-rubbed flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your flank steak turns out perfectly cooked and flavorful every time.
