Taco-Rubbed Flank Steak
- Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 to 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 medium lime, halved
- 1 2-pound flank steak, all visible fat discarded
- Lightly spray a grill rack or broiler rack and pan with cooking spray.
- Preheat the grill on high or preheat the broiler.
- In a small bowl, stir together the rub ingredients.
- Squeeze the lime over both sides of the steak.
- Rub into the steak.
- Spoon the rub mixture all over both sides.
- Using your fingertips, lightly press the rub so it adheres.
- Grill the steak or broil 5 to 6 inches from the heat until the desired doneness, about 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare to 15 minutes on each side for well-done.
- Refrigerate one-fourth of the steak (6 ounces) in an airtight container for use in Flank Steak Burritos or Cooks-Choice Fried Rice.
- Cut the remaining steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
- Timing your grilling or broiling can be tricky.
- Different grills and broilers give off different amounts of heat, and the distance from the heat affects how quickly the meat cooks, as does whether the meat is chilled.
- Of course, the thickness of the cut also makes a difference.
- Watch your meat, and cut into the center to check for doneness.
- As a rule of thumb, youll have tenderer meat if you cut it across the grain.
- Look at the lines that run in one direction (the grain), and cut diagonally across those lines.
