2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds skirt steak, cut into 4 equal pieces

Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds, and that is evenly thick throughout. Avoid steaks that are too thin or too thick, as they will not cook evenly.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the flank steak in a flavorful marinade for at least 30 minutes will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple one made with olive oil, garlic, cumin, and chili powder is always a good choice.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak is best cooked over high heat so that it can develop a nice crust on the outside while remaining tender on the inside. You can grill, pan-fry, or broil the steak, but be sure to cook it for no more than 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite toppings: Grilled flank steak can be served with a variety of toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese. You can also serve it with grilled vegetables or a salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled flank steak tostadas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer BBQ or party. The steak is tender and flavorful, and the toppings are fresh and refreshing. Follow these tips to make the best grilled flank steak tostadas: choose the right flank steak, marinate the steak, cook the steak over high heat, let the steak rest before slicing, and serve the steak with your favorite toppings. With a little practice, you'll be making grilled flank steak tostadas like a pro!
