Chipotle Lime Grilled Flank Steak has a little bit of spice and a lot of smokey flavor from the chipotle peppers.

Don’t discard the marinade. Boil it long enough to kill any bacteria and then pour it over the cooked flank steak for even more flavor.

How Long To Cook

How long you grill flank steak depends on the size of the flank steak, its thickness and the degree of doneness you want. For medium-rare cook to an internal temperature of 130 degrees. It should take about 6 to 8 minutes per side.

Recipe Tip

Be sure to let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Leftovers make a great topping for a Tex Mex-style salad.

  3. 3

    Let flank steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.

  4. 4

    Pour marinade into a small saucepan. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesn't burn on the bottom.
