Chili-Rubbed Flank Steak With Sweet-Onion Relish


Use Vidalia or another sweet onion for the relish that accompanies this spicy steak. Instead of broiling, you could easily cook the steak on an outdoor grill over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side. Keep in mind that flank steak is very lean and will toughen if you overcook it. Enjoy it with a salad of baby greens.
Serves 4

1 1/4 pounds flank steak
7 teaspoons fresh lime juice
2 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
Salt
1 medium sweet onion, minced
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat the broiler.
Rub each side of the steak with 1 teaspoon of the lime juice. Sprinkle each side with 1 teaspoon of the chili powder and rub in. Season lightly with salt. Let sit while you make the onion relish.
In a medium bowl, combine the onion, cilantro, remaining 5 teaspoons lime juice, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (add more chili powder to taste if you like).
Broil the steak 6 inches from the heat for about 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let sit for 5 minutes before thinly slicing at an angle against the grain.
Divide the steak and onion relish evenly among 4 plates and serve warm.
