Ingredients

• 1 pound lean flank steak
• 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well-mixed to form the marinade.

Step 2

Place the lean flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Step 4

Refrigerate the marinating steak for at least 30 minutes, preferably for 1-2 hours, to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and place it on the hot grill.

Step 7

Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.

Step 8

Transfer the grilled steak to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 9

Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.

Step 10

Serve the low-fat chipotle steak with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
