Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 whole Lime wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your broiler on high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heating element.
Place the flank steak on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Rub both sides of the steak with olive oil to coat it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over both sides of the flank steak, pressing it into the meat to ensure it adheres.
Place the steak under the broiler and cook for 4 minutes on the first side.
Flip the steak carefully and broil for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
Serve hot, drizzled with fresh lime juice and garnished with chopped cilantro, if desired.
