Ingredient Needed
Dry Ingredients – chili powder, garlic, cumin, coriander, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Wet Ingredients – lime juice and olive oil Steak – This recipe is for flank steak, so that’s what I generally use this on, but it’s also great on other cuts of meat. Some of our favorites are tenderloin, NY strip, and tri-tip.
How To Make Lime-Chili Rubbed Steak
- Juice the lime into a small bowl. Add oil and spices and stir to combine.2. Place the steak in a shallow dish and pour the spice mixture on top, massaging into all sides. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Place meat on hot grill (bbq is best, but an indoor grill pan or broiler will work just fine too). If you’re using flank steak it should take about 5-7 minutes on each side. I like to remove my steak at about 135 degrees in the thickest portion. This provides medium-rare meat in the center, but pieces that are more well done on the ends. Here’s a great tip for testing meat doneness in other cuts. When steak is finished, remove from grill and cover with foil and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.

If you plan to make salads, you could absolutely grill up the meat the day before and slice and serve cold, if desired.
