How to Make Chili Rubbed Flank Steak
- Combine 2 cloves garlic, 1 tbsp ground cumin, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped.
- Add 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (or 2-3 jalapeños), 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Process until smooth.
- Generously rub the chili mixture all over the 1-1.5 lb flank steak. Use a spoon or spatula to avoid getting the rub on your hands.
- Let the steak sit at room temperature for 2-3 hours (or refrigerate and bring to room temperature before grilling).
- Preheat your grill to high heat.
- Grill the steak for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your preferred internal temperature.
- Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving. Enjoy!
