About This Recipe

Grilled flank steak marinated in lime juice and seasonings served  with pan fried peppers and onions.  This is a great low carb meal option.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs flank steak
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp chili powder
• 2 Tbsp garlic (minced)
• 2 tsp ground coriander
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 Tbsp lime juice
• 4 medium bell peppers (any color)
• 1 medium sweet onion
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• Cilantro (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 lime (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Lightly season the steak with salt and pepper. Place it in a large ziplock bag and add 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1 Tbsp chili powder, 2 Tbsp minced garlic, 2 tsp ground coriander, and the juice of 1 lime.
2. Remove as much air as possible and allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
3. While the steak is marinating, wash and cut your peppers into strips. Cut your onion into similar sized slices.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat (cast iron is best here). Add in 1 Tbsp of olive oil and cook the peppers and onions until they become soft.
5. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle a bit of lime juice over the top.
6. To cook the steak, heat a grill pan over medium high heat, add a bit of olive oil and grill the meat for 3-4 minutes each side for a medium steak.
7. Remove from the pan and allow to rest for a few minutes. This will make sure the meat retains its moisture.
8. Cut the meat into thin slices against the grain to prevent chewiness.
9. This recipe makes 5 servings. Divide your ingredients evenly 5 ways and add to your containers.
