Southwest Steak


This is a great recipe for Southwest Flank Steak, it can be used alone as a marinade or can be used to make Southwest Quesadillas


The recipe is from Taste Of Home-Healthy Cooking Magazine, which has been my GO-TO mag lately!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 teaspoons chili powder
  • 4 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 beef flank steaks (1 pound each)

Directions

  • In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first seven ingredients; add beef. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  • Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill beef, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).
  • Let stand for 5 minutes; thinly slice across the grain. Yield: 8 servings

  1. Just a note when cooking steaks always remove from heat a few degrees from where you want it and then let it rest on the counter tented/covered in aluminum foil. This is because even though you remove the steak from the heat it will continue cooking internally through a process called "Carry over cooking"
