Peppery Flank Steak
A quick and easy spin on a classic recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 lime, grated zest
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon hot chile oil
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup dry red wine
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1½ pound flank steak
Directions
- In a small bowl, stir together the lime juice, lime zest, garlic, chile oil, vegetable oil, red pepper flakes, wine, sugar and soy sauce. Place the meat in a zip top bag. Pour the mixture over the steak and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, tossing the meat occasionally and basting with the marinade.
- Prepare grill.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Place the steak on the grill rack and grill, turning once and brushing 2-3 times with the marinade; grill 5-6 minutes each side. The meat tastes best when served rare. To serve, carve on the diagonal in thin slices across the grain.
