Ingredients

  • 1, 2-3 lb. Flank Steak
  • 1, 4.5 oz. can of Chipotle Peppers in Adobo
  • 1 Lime juiced
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • Chipotle Compound Butter

Instructions

  • Start by removing the flank steak from the packaging and pat it dry with a paper towel.
  • In a blender, combine the can of chipotle peppers in adobo, juice of one lime, olive oil, and sea salt and blend until a thin paste forms.
  • Place the steak in a shallow dish and coat it completely in the marinade. Let it come to room temperature like this for at least 30 minutes or store in the fridge for up to 24 hours to marinade. The longer it's on, the more the flavors will penetrate the meat!
  • Preheat your grill to high heat, oil the grill grates if needed.
  • Place your steak on the grill over direct heat and sear for 1.5-2 minutes with the lid closed and flip when it easily releases from the grates. Repeat this step so you flip a total of four times or until it comes up to the desired temperature (I pull mine around 125-130 F so it rests and reaches a temperature of about 135 F after resting for medium rare).
  • Remove it from the grill, lightly tent with foil, and add the chipotle butter to the steak on top while it rests if desired. After 10 minutes, slice against the grain into thin strips and serve with roasted sweet peppers, corn tortillas, and desired sides!

Notes

If storing in the fridge, allow the steak to rest at room temperature at least 30 minutes prior to searing on the grill. For the compound butter combine 5 tbsp. softened butter, 1 tbsp. olive oil, 1 chipotle pepper minced and 1 tbsp. of adobo sauce into a bowl. Add diced chives and sea salt to taste. Set with a cookie scoop in the freezer or roll it into parchment paper to set in the fridge before serving.
