Chile-Lime Flanksteak


Flanksteak is one of my favorite cuts of meat because it's so tasty with just a little simple seasoning. This chile  and lime combination adds just the right about of flavors while letting the meat shine through - something that can be hard to accomplish sometimes! Plus, it's really easy :)

I served it here with some roasted potatoes and my Corn and Red Bell Pepper Saute. The recipe calls for it to be grilled (which would be the most flavorful) but I cooked it in a skillet this time since it was raining. Either way works great.

Chile-Lime Flanksteak
Serves 2  

10 ounces flanksteak
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon lime zest
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper


1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2. Poke flanksteak with a fork on both sides to create several holes. Drizzle lime juice over steak and let sit.
3. Meanwhile, combine chili powder, lime zest, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub onto steak and let sit until the grill is ready.
4. Spray grill rack and add steak. Grill 5-7 minutes per side or until cooked. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut across the grain and serve hot.
