Lime-Chili Steak Rub

Recipe from Our Best Bites

INGREDIENTS
1 t chili powder
1 t granulated garlic
1/2 t cumin
1/2 t coriander
1/2 t oregano
1/8- 1/4 t cayenne pepper*
3/4 t salt
1/4 t black pepper
1 lime (about 2 T lime juice)
1 T extra virgin olive oil
1-2 lbs flank steak, or other good grilling cut (tenderloin, NY strip, and tri-tip all work well)

*If you have chipotle chili powder, you can substitute it for the cayenne or just add a little in addition.

DIRECTIONS
Juice the lime into a small bowl. Add spices and oil and stir to combine. Place the steak in a shallow dish and pour the spice mixture on top. Use your hands to massage it in there. Let it sit for 15 minutes. During that time preheat your grill.

Place meat on hot grill. If you're using flank steak it should take about 5-7 minutes on each side.
When steak is finished, remove from grill and let sit for 5 minutes before cutting into it. Slice in strips against the grain.

This is great served with black beans and cilantro-lime rice, or sliced thin in soft tacos or on salad.
