Taco- Rubbed Flank Steak

You know we went to the beach last weekend, so you know we ate well! Taco's have been a bit of a theme this summer, so we kept it going. I first tried this recipe when we hit the Shore with Mr. Smith's peeps last month and liked it so much that a repeat was necessary! This rub stays well in the spice rack so make a double batch and use it on chicken, pork or skirt steaks just as easily. And if you do choose a flank or skirt steak, be sure to cut against the grain to help keep the meat nice and tender.

Taco- Rubbed Flank Steak
From: About.com
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 medium lime
2 pounds flank steak

Preheat grill on high or preheat broiler.
For rub, combine chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne, salt, and sugar in a small bowl.
Squeeze lime over steak and rub juice into meat. Rub with chili-powder mixture to coat completely.
Grill steak or broil 5-6 inches from heat until desired doneness (about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare to 15 minutes per side for well-done).
Let meat rest for 5 minutes under a tented piece of aluminum foil before cutting in order to keep it tender and juicy.
