A flavorful and juicy grilled steak marinated in a zesty chipotle lime mixture, perfect for any occasion.
Combine the onion, chipotle chiles, garlic, cumin, salt, chili powder, paprika, olive oil, and lime juice in a mixing bowl.
Blending the marinade ingredients can help achieve a smoother consistency.
Place the flank steak in a ziploc bag and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it is fully coated.
Massage the marinade into the steak for better absorption of flavors.
Let the steak marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
The longer the marination time, the more flavorful the steak will be.
Preheat the grill to high heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for accuracy.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board, tented with foil.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the steak juicier.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain and serve.
Slicing against the grain ensures tender bites.
