  • Use a flavorful spice rub: The spice rub in this recipe is packed with flavor, but you can adjust it to your own taste. Be sure to use a combination of spices that you enjoy.
  • Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes: This will help the steak to absorb the flavors of the spice rub and cook more evenly.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the steak and keep it juicy on the inside.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

Grilled Spice Rubbed Flank Steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The flank steak is marinated in a flavorful spice rub and then grilled to perfection.
