3-Ingredient Chipotle-Lime Grilled Steak
- 1 canned chipotle chile in adobo, ribs and seeds removed, plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lime zest (from about 2 limes), divided
- 1/3 cup fresh lime juice (from about 3 limes)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
- 1 1/2 pounds skirt or flank steak
- Lime wedges (for serving)
- Blend chile, adobo sauce, 1 tsp. lime zest, lime juice, oil, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. pepper in a blender until smooth. Place steak in a large resealable plastic bag, pour marinade over, and toss to coat. Marinate, tossing occasionally, at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or chill overnight.
- If chilled, let steak sit at room temperature 30 minutes. Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Grill steak until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of steak registers 120-125u0b0F for medium-rare, 2-3 minutes per side for skirt; 3-4 minutes per side for flank. Let rest 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain (to make slicing easier for skirt steak, cut into 5-6" segments, then slice against the grain).
- Transfer to a platter and top with remaining 1/2 tsp. lime zest; season with salt and pepper. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
