Flank Steak Friday
It was chili lime marinated flank steak this evening…
This was our first flank steak…it’s a great cut of meat, super lean, and if cooked and sliced properly is extremely tender.
I marinated it in the juice of 2 limes, 4 tsp. canola oil, 1 tsp. kosher salt and 2 tsp. chili powder. Just toss these 4 ingredients in a zip-loc bag along with the meat (1-1.25 lbs.) and throw in the ‘fridge for at least 3 hours.
Cook 5 minutes on each side, let sit for 5-10 minutes and then slice thinly against the grain, on an angle.
I warmed some corn and flour tortillas (fajita size) on the stove burner, drizzled a little chipotle lime crema, a few strips of meat, grilled red peppers and onions, peach pineapple salsa, shredded cheese and a jalapeño ring.
YUM!
Looking forward to having the rest on a salad with some blue cheese and possibly some mini tortas with avocado crema!
