Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the Marinade:
In a bowl, combine minced chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
-
Marinate the Steak:
Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
-
Preheat the Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 200°C.
-
Grill the Steak:
Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the steak on the preheated grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
-
Rest the Steak:
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
-
Slice and Serve:
Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
