Serve this great-tasting, tender steak as part of a taco party or with a mixed green salad and sliced avocados.

Prep Time:25 minutes
Ready in:1 hour 25 minutes (including 1 hour marinating time)
Yield:8 servings, about 1.5 ounces each
Ease of Prep:Easy
Recipe Ingredients
 2 cloves garlic , minced
 1/4 cup white vinegar
 2 tablespoons canola oil
 2 teaspoons ground ancho chile pepper (see Ingredient note)
 1 teaspoon dried oregano
 1 teaspoon ground cumin
 1/4 teaspoon salt
 1-1 1/4 pounds flank steak , trimmed of fat

Recipe Directions
  1. Whisk garlic, vinegar, oil, ground chile, oregano, cumin and salt in a small bowl. Place steak in a shallow baking dish and pour marinade over it, turning to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, turning once, or overnight.
  2. Preheat grill to high heat. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the steak until desired doneness, 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steak very thinly across the grain. Serve warm or chilled.

Marinate steak in the refrigerator for up to 1 day and/or refrigerate cooked steak for up to 1 day. Slice just before serving.

To oil a grill: Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to spray the food with cooking spray.

Ingredient note: Ancho chile peppers, one of the most popular dried chiles used in Mexico, are dried poblano peppers. They have a mild, sweet, spicy flavor. Ground ancho chile pepper can be found in the specialty-spice section of large supermarkets, or substitute ground chili powder with a pinch of cayenne.
