Grilled Lime Flat Iron Steak

Lori
This Grilled Lime Flat Iron Steak is perfect for weeknight dinners! I love having this grilled steak whenever I'm at Tex-Mex restaurants and naturally, I wanted to recreate it at home.

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 C. fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
  • 2 T. soy sauce
  • 1/2 t. red pepper flakes
  • 2 green onions , thinly sliced (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1-1/2 lb. flatiron steak
  • 2 T. fresh ginger , minced
  • vegetable oil for grates (or grill pan)
  • coarse salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Combine the lime juice, soy sauce, green onions, ginger and red pepper flakes in a small bowl or directly on a resealable plastic bag.
  • Lightly score steak in a cross-hatch manner on both sides.
  • Add the steak to a Ziplock bag and press out all the air and seal. Place the bag in a dish to protect against leakage. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Heat an outdoor grill, contact grill, or indoor grill pan to medium high. Lightly oil pan or grill grates.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade. Discard marinade and pat the steak dry with a paper towel. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place steak on the grill then cover and cook. Turn it once until the meat has reached the desired doneness, 6-8 minutes (depending on thickness of steak) for medium rare. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing thin across the grain.
  • Serve with Cuban-Style Black Beans and Rice, if desired. Enjoy!
