Lime-Marinated Flat Iron Steak
This grilled lime-marinated flat iron steak is out of this world delicious! Flat irons are our favorites - they always turn out so tender and tasty.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup lime juice about 4 limes
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 green onions thinly sliced about 1/3 cup
- 2 tbsp minced ginger
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1-1/2 lb. flat iron steak
- vegetable oil for grates or grill pan
- coarse salt and ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine the lime juice, soy sauce, green onions, ginger and red pepper flakes in a resealable plastic bag.
- Lightly score steak in a cross-hatch manner on both sides.
- Add the steak to a Ziplock bag and press out all the air and seal. Place the bag in a dish to protect against leakage. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Heat an outdoor grill, contact grill, or indoor grill pan to medium high. Lightly oil pan or grill grates.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and let the excess marinade drip off. Pat dry with a paper towel. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place the steak on the grill; cover and cook, turning once until the meat has reached the desired doneness, 6-8 minutes (depending on thickness of steak) for medium rare. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing thin across the grain.
