Preparation
- Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the chipotle, honey and garlic. Whisk in the oil.
- Step 2
Season the steak all over with the salt. Pat the meat evenly with the chipotle mixture and let rest for at least an hour at room temperature, or as long as overnight in the refrigerator. If you’ve chilled it, let the steak come to room temperature before grilling.
- Step 3
Light the charcoal or preheat the grill. Brush off any bits of garlic or chile from the meat and grill, covered, until the meat is charred on the outside and done to taste inside, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let the meat rest 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

I was really looking forward to making this, not having cooked it in nearly a year and remembering how good it was. But while I was looking up the recipe my dog counter-surfed the flank steak and snarfed it down in about 2 minutes.
I seared the steak on a hot cast iron pan over a flame, 3 minutes on each side, and it was delicious.
Very easy and it turned out wonderfully. Made this as written, using a top loin "London broil" and broiling it in the oven. After tasting the marinade, I was worried that it might be too spicy for some members of the family, but the end result was a big hit.
Skip marinating and dump everything in a Dutch oven with 2 cups broth and simmer on a stovetop for 2 hours.
We had this last night and we loved it! It was full of flavor drenched in everything I love ….. garlic, honey, chipotles and olive oil! Planning to make tacos with recipe next time! Browned meat on stove, then put in oven for 10 minutes. Recommend.
Please, please, please - include marinating time in the TOTAL TIME. When I see 15 minutes, I expect the whole process to take 15 minutes.
