Smoky Cocoa Flank Steak

• The Steak
• One flank steak, about 1 3/4 - 2 lb
• Vegetable oil
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• Smoky Cocoa Rub
• 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder blend (see note)
• 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1. Combine the rub ingredients. Lightly brush the steak with oil. Rub the rub well into the steak. Allow the steak to stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the grill. Grill the steak over direct heat to your desired doneness, about 14 minutes for medium rare, turning occasionally. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Cut the steak into thin slices, (if like to throw additional pitch of salt and pepper) and serve immediately.
