Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 tablespoon Adobo sauce (from the chipotle peppers)
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 1 lime Lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, combine the chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, honey, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 4

Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking, then place the steak on the grill. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).

Step 5

Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 6

Slice the steak thinly against the grain. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired and serve with lime wedges on the side.
