A flavorful and juicy grilled flank steak recipe with a zesty twist, perfect for any occasion.
Combine smoked paprika, ground coriander, sea salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Squeeze the juice of one fresh lime into the spice mix and add extra virgin olive oil. Stir to create a marinade.
Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
Place the flank steak in a ziploc bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and massage to coat the steak evenly.
Let the steak marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (350-400°F/180-200°C) and lightly oil the grates.
Ensure the grill is clean to prevent sticking.
Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Pat the steak dry with paper towels.
Drying the steak helps achieve a nice sear.
Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side or until it reaches your desired doneness (145°F/65°C for medium-rare).
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for accuracy.
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the steak more tender.
Slice the steak thinly across the grain and serve with a drizzle of lime juice.
Slicing against the grain ensures tender bites.
