While I’ve been known to grill the perfect chicken breast, my grilled garlic lime flank steak gives the chicken a run for its money. Grilling is one of my favorite ways to cook— and you’ll often see Ted and I fight for the grill master title in our house. Which might seem silly to some of you. “You mean your husband wants to cook and you fight him for it?” I’m a control freak. And that control leaks into the grill too!

Why You Need to Make This Grilled Garlic Lime Flank Steak

  1. Simply grilled meat = healthy! Grilling is healthy when you opt for lean, well-trimmed cuts of meat [or beef in this instance] such as flank steak.
  2. The marinade! Marinate flank steak for added flavor and tenderness. Marinate for at least 6 hours but not more than 24 hours.
  3. Grilling adds so. much. flavor. Just be sure to grill over medium heat to prevent flare-ups or charring on your meat.
  4. Ok I snuck a fourth point in here. THE LEFTOVERS! Leftover grilled garlic lime flank steak is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Beef for breakfast? Yep. Scroll down past the recipe to learn my thoughts on this.

    That steak looks perfect. I love lime and cumin in a marinade for red meat.

    I am on a mission to increase my protein so this is perfect timing!!! I don’t eat a ton of beef, but when it’s quality and a great cut so worth it.
