How to Make Flank Steak With Lime Chipotle Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped), 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
  2. Season the flank steak (about 1.5 lbs) generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Place the steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over it, ensuring it's coated evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably up to 4 hours.
  4. Remove the steak from the marinade and reserve the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the steak for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. Baste with the remaining marinade during the last 2 minutes of grilling.
  6. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice thinly against the grain. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the sliced steak and serve immediately.
