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.

CHILI FLANK STEAK

I started making this recipe when we moved from Idaho to Kentucky. It gets so hot here that we use our outdoor grill as often as possible to keep the kitchen cool. My husband loves this juicy steak and its tasty sauce. I like that I can have it ready to marinate in no time. -Karma Henry, Glasgow, Kentucky

Tips:

  • Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
  • For a spicier steak, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper to the marinade.
  • For a more citrusy steak, add more lime juice or zest to the marinade.
