Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine ancho chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, black pepper, and oregano.
Step 2
Add olive oil and lime juice to the spice mix and stir to form a paste.
Step 3
Rub the spice paste evenly over both sides of the flank steak. Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for better flavor.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6
Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Step 7
While the steak is grilling, in a small saucepan, heat the unsalted beef broth over medium heat until warm.
Step 8
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 9
Thinly slice the steak against the grain.
Step 10
Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the sliced steak before serving. Serve with the warmed beef broth on the side for added moisture and flavor.
