Chili Rubbed Steak

  • To save time, the flank steak can be prepared the night before. Make sure to marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours, to allow the flavors to soak in.
  • When grilling the steak, make sure to cook it over medium heat. This will help to prevent the meat from becoming tough.
  • To ensure that the steak is properly marinated, make sure the marinade covers it completely. It would be best if you put it in a freezer or chiller (at 33 to 40 F°) so that the marinade can penetrate the meat.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can still cook the steak to your desired donen
