Grilled Chipotle-Hone Flank Steak

Grilled Chipotle-Honey Flank Steak

Another great recipe plagiarized from Chris Schlesinger. http://www.eastcoastgrill.net

For the marinade

6 pounds of flank steak

4 canned chipotles

5 garlic cloves

Handful of fresh cilantro

8 tablespoons of olive oil

20 tablespoons of lime juice (about 10 limes)

For the sauce

½ cup honey

4 tablespoons of peanut oil

6 to 10 canned chipotles

4 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar

4 tablespoons of brown mustard

16 tablespoons of lime juice (about 8 limes)

4 garlic cloves

2 teaspoons of ground cumin

Handful of fresh cilantro

2 teaspoons of salt

Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Throw all the marinade ingredients in a blender or food processor. Grind them up.

Marinade the flank steaks for 4-6 hours. Do not marinade much longer because the acid in the lime juice will turn the meat gray.

Throw all the Sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor. Grind them up. Serve the sauce at room temperature.

Grill the flank steak over a very hot fire for 4-6 minutes per side for medium rare.

Let the meat rest for several minutes.

Make sure you slice the meat thinly at an angle across the grain.

Serve with warm tortillas and the excellent sauce.
