SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED FLANK STEAK
There are some steaks that need nothing more than a little salt and pepper to bring out their beefy goodness. Flank steak is not one of them. This bold marinade is just the sort of seasoning the brawny cut begs for: lime juice and zest add brightness, brown sugar sweetness, and jalapeño and sriracha a complex heat. Just whiz it all together in a food processor and slather it on the meat. Marinate overnight (or 20 minutes if that's all the time you have) before tossing it on the grill. Lastly, always make more flank steak that you think you want. Leftovers are the best part.

Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse together scallion, ginger, jalapeño, garlic, sugar, lime zest and juice, and sriracha. With the motor running, pour in oil until smooth.
- Season steak with salt. Place in a large bowl and pour marinade over meat. Turn to coat well with the mixture. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- When you are ready to cook the steak, heat the grill to medium-high heat, or heat the broiler with the rack set 4 inches from the heat source. Transfer meat to the grill and cook, covered, until it reaches the desired doneness (about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare), or broil until charred and done to taste, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

Tips:
- Choose the right flank steak: Look for a steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick and has a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
- Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade for at least 30 minutes will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a store-bought marinade or make your own using olive oil, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and lime juice.
- Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak should be cooked over high heat for a short period of time. This will help to keep the steak tender and juicy.
- Slice the steak against the grain: When you slice the steak against the grain, you are cutting through the muscle fibers. This makes the steak more tender and easier to chew.
- Serve the steak with your favorite toppings: Flank steak fajitas are typically served with tortillas, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. You can also add other toppings such as shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, or grilled onions.
Conclusion:
Sweet and spicy flank steak fajitas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering.
