Ingredients

1 beef Flank Steak (about 1-1/2 to 2 pounds)

Marinade:

1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons minced chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from chilies)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon freshly grated lime peel

Preparation

Step 1

Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl; mix well. Place beef Flank Steak and marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight.
Step 2

Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 11 to 16 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 16 to 21 minutes) for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally. Carve steak across the grain into thin slices. Season with salt, as desired.
