It’s getting warmer out and that means it’s time to dust of the grill and put it to good use.

Whether it’s 70° or 30° outside you need to make these! This marinade for this method is as simple as throwing some ingredients into a food processor and then into a bag with a nice sized flank steak to marinate before onto a grill for charred perfection!

To Make These Cilantro Lime Flank Steak Tacos Set out:

flank steak or skirt steak
a lime
olive oil
fresh cilantro
garlic
red pepper flakes
honey
ancho-chili pepper
ground cumin
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

Simple spices that pack lots of flavor!

In your mini food processor, add a large handful of cilantro leaves and 1 peeled, smashed garlic clove.

Squeeze in the juice of a whole lime.

Secure the lid and pulse it quickly to get everything roughly chopped.

Add in 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of ancho-chili pepper, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, kosher salt and fresh black pepper, to taste.

Measure and add in 2 teaspoon honey. If you don’t happen to have any honey on hand, you can substitute with a little agave or sugar.

Pour in 1/3 cup olive oil.

Replace the lid and process until combined.

Now you can place your flank steak in a gallon size re-sealable bag or shallow dish that has a tight fitting lid.

Next pour the marinade over the steak; seal the bag and massage the bag to evenly coat and cover the flank steak.

Allow the steak to hang out on the counter for 30 minutes, bringing the meat up to room temperature so it’s ready for the grill.

Preheat your grill over medium-high heat or about 500°. When your grill has preheated, lay the steak onto the hot grill grates. Close the lid and grill for 5 minutes. Flip the steak and grill for an additional 4 to 6 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 145°.

Once it has reached your desired doneness; remove from grill onto a cutting board then cover with tin foil. Let it rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing, so the meat can relax and the juices can redistribute.

Slice across the grain and at a slight angle.
