Ingredients

3 lbs Flat iron steak
7 oz Chipotle pepper in adobe sauce
1 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp Mexican oregano
1 tsp Cumin
1 tbsp Minced garlic
1 tbsp Salt
1/4 cup Olive oil
1/4 cup Fresh cilantro
2 Lime - juiced
1 Orange - juiced

Instructions

In a blender, add chipotle peppers in adobe sauce, freshly squeezed orange and lime juice, minced garlic, crushed red peppers, Mexican oregano, cumin, fresh cilantro, salt and olive oil. Blend all these ingredients together until smooth.
Pour the marinade over the flat iron steak, making sure to coat the entire cut and let it marinade in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
When ready, preheat the grill to 450 degrees and set it for direct heat.
Place the marinated steak directly on the grates and flip every 1-2 minutes until it reaches your desired doneness.
Remove the steak from the grill and allow it to rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Slice, serve and enjoy!

Notes

For maximum flavor, marinade the steak in the fridge overnight.

This cut is best cooked over high direct heat and ideally over charcoal. Because it’s thin, it only needs a few minutes on each side for the perfect medium rare finish.

For a less spicy alternative, don't use the whole can of chipotle peppers. Use 1-2 peppers only.
