It’s finally in the 60’s here in Ohio and I’ve been anticipating this day all winter long. We are picking up our 100 + trees from the Soil and Water Conservation Division today and I’m excited to start planting. After a wonderful day out in the garden nothing beats finishing the day with a super easy spring time recipe. Tonight I’m firing up the grill in the kitchen patio garden to cook up this Chile-Lime Flank Steak recipe. It’s wonderful to finish the day with my family enjoying a good meal while sharing what we did during the day.
Ingredients
- 1 Teaspoon Pure Chile Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Ground Cumin
- ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 2 Tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
- 2 Tablespoon Gaea Kalamata Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1½ Pound Flank Steak (Trimmed of Fat)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the spices, salt, pepper, lime juice, and olive oil to make a paste.
- Place the steak in a shallow dish and rub the paste evenly over both sides.
- Cover and let marinate for 1 to 4 hours.
- Grill the steak for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or slightly longer for well-done meat.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, place the tortillas on the hot grill and grill for 10 seconds on each side, then wrap in a cloth napkin to keep them warm.
- Slice the steak across the grain into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange on a serving platter.
- Place the tortillas and the bowl of salsa on the table and serve family-style.
- The steak and pineapple can be cooked in an oiled ridged grill pan on top of the stove and the tortillas can be wrapped in foil and heated in a 350°F oven.
