Recipe Introduction


POINTS® Value: 5
Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 20 min
Cooking Time: 25 min
Level of Difficulty: Moderate


List of Ingredients




2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tsp vegetable oil
2 medium garlic clove(s), crushed
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp table salt
1 pound raw lean flank steak, trimmed of all fat
1 medium sweet red pepper(s), seeded and thinly sliced
1 large onion(s), thinly sliced
2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped (optional)


Recipe



In a small bowl, combine lime juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons of oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin and salt. Rub mixture all over steak; wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.

Preheat grill. Unwrap steak and grill over medium hot coals until desired doneness, about 8 to 10 minutes per side for medium. Flank steaks taste best served pink in the middle; if cooked too long, they get tough.

Allow meat to rest 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat remaining 1/2 teaspoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; stir-fry pepper and onion until tender-crisp.

To serve, thinly slice steak diagonally across the grain and arrange on a serving platter. Top with onion mixture and sprinkle with cilantro, if desired.
