Ancho-Fired Flank Steak

Servings: 4Prep Time: 00:00By: Warren Prince

Ingredients

5.0 cloveGarlic
2.0 tspsalt
2.0 TBSPLime Juice
1.0 tspOregano
1.0 tspCumin
0.5 tspPepper, Black
0.08 tspPepper, Ancho
1.0 eachFlank Steak

Instructions

  1. Mash the garlic in the mortar, with the salt. Make into a paste. Add the lime juice (fresh only) and then the oregano, cumin and pepper. Mix together into a paste and coat the flank steak. You can let the steak sit a bit (but remember that the salt may draw out the moisture.... I actually brined the steak first).

    Head the egg to 800 or so, and grill, 2 minutes a side, by two flips. IOW, grill 2 minutes, flip, grill 2 minutes, flip, for a total of about 8 minutes. Wrap steak in foil and allow to rest about a half hour.

    NOTE: For the ancho pepper, I used two knife tips, but this is old ancho pepper. I could notice just a hint of a bite to it. Jan, of course, didn't notice anything. I could have tolerated more, but I'd be careful in case the pepper is fresh.

    I sliced the steak and served over a Caesar salad.
