Mexican Spiced Flank Steak
spice up your flank steak
Cooking Mexican can be fun and this homemade seasoning is the perfect rub for flank steak. After I grill up this dish I love to serve it as an amazing entrée or appetizer just add a scoop of Mashed Potatoes to a fork, add a strip of Mexican Spiced Flank Steak, and top it off with some Peppers and Onions and you will think you are on a Mexican vacation.
For other authentic Mexican food inspired dishes try some Pico de Gallo with tortilla chips and for dessert Fried Ice Cream and you can have some of the best Mexican food without having to travel Mexico.

recipe instruction
1. In a small mixing bowl combine your salt, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, coriander, and dark chili powder. Mix together until completely combined.
2. Rub both sides of the flank steak with the dry rub. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for as long as your can. (A couple hours is perfect)
3. Preheat your grill to high heat. Add your flank steak to the grill and let cook on the first side for 8 minutes.
4. Once the first side has had time to cook, flip and let finish cooking another 6-8 minutes.
5. After your steak is cooked to your liking, remove from grill and let rest another 3-5 minutes. Thinly slice against the grain, serve, and enjoy.
cooking tips
- You can make this rub up to a week in advance. Store in either a plastic baggy or an air tight container. You can also rub your steak up to 12 hours in advance and let marinate over night.
- The dry rub is great on fish or chicken as well as a seasoning salt for popcorn, homemade French fries, and base for any pizza by adding a little oil to the base.
- The thinner you slice your flank steak the more tender it is.
