Lime Jalapeno Garlic Flank Steak image

The unique flavor in this flank steak comes from jalapeño powder - a potent green powder that is literally made from fresh jalapeños! If you can't find it, try using fresh chopped jalapeños for a similar flavor. NOTE: Flank steak is meant to be cooked rare to medium-rare, and will become tough if cooked longer. Don't forget to slice across the grain of the meat. Flat Iron Steak works great with this too!

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 lbs flank steaks
1/2 cup lime juice
1 lime, zest of
1/2 cup canola oil
5 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 1/2 teaspoons jalapeno powder (or 1-2 fresh jalapenos, minced)
3/4 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons cumin

Steps:

  • Mix ingredients together and pour over flank steak; marinate for 1 hour in fridge.
  • Remove flank steak, brushing off excess marinade and any pieces of garlic.
  • Grill over high heat until rare or medium rare inside, or sear over high heat in a hot nonstick skillet.
  • You want to make sure the heat is as high as it will go, so the steak doesn't water out and "boil" instead of sear.
  • The grill really works the best.
  • Let the meat rest for 15 minutes, slice thinly across the grain.
