Juicy Grilled Flank Steak topped with a blender made smoky chipotle sauce and fresh cilantro. Done in 15 minutes, it’s grilling made simple and full of flavor! Delicious!

A clinical study showed Mazola®​ Corn Oil reduces cholesterol 2x more than extra virgin olive oil. To learn more about this claim, see Mazola.com.

To lighten up my recipe, I replaced the dried herbs with fresh herbs and I used fresh squeezed lime juice in place of bottled juice. I also used Mazola Corn Oil instead of Olive Oil.

Flank steak is actually one of my favorite cuts. I’ve been eating it for years, and it’s just perfect in a flavorful marinade like this one. Super simple to make, gluten-free, and fits into the paleo diet! The best part is it packs a huge punch of flavor!

 

Sometimes cooking oils have strong or pungent flavors. I like that Mazola Corn Oil has a neutral taste that lets the natural flavor of your food stand out.

It makes me feel better using Mazola Corn Oil. It’s an all-purpose, cholesterol-free cooking oil that is a smart heart-healthy* choice for you and your family. *See Mazola.com for more information on the relationship between corn oil and heart health. It has a variety of uses include baking, grilling, sautéing, stir-frying or mixing up a marinade or dressing. 

So delicious and so simple! It tastes fresh and is perfect and easy enough for normal family dinner or a bigger dinner party! 

This recipe screams summer grilling, and it’s one that family and friends will all love. We had family over the other night and I made this incredible steak. It was gone in seconds! Next time, I will double this recipe for sure! 

I’ve decided that the key to a really great flank steak is marinating it in something delicious for at least a few hours. 

When grilling with other cooking oils, meat tends to catch on fire and gets a very charred and overpowering flavor, but with Mazola, it has a smoke point higher than most cooking oils at 450°F and performs well in a variety of cooking applications. Many home cooks, like myself, may not realize that all cooking oils have a smoke point that, once exceeded, not only negatively affect the food’s flavor but also the nutritional value.

That’s why I am excited about summer grilling and less indoor cooking in our home. I love the fresh flavors of marinated beef; the charred crispy edges are my favorite. Hubs loves his steak rare. I like mine medium-well. For this size steak, I grilled it for 4 minutes on high for each side.

Once the steak comes off the grill, let it rest for about ten minutes to lock in the flavors. Then slice the steak and spoon the chipotle sauce over it and sprinkle chopped cilantro, too.

If you are a steak lover like my family, you will love this incredible marinated grilled steak. Marinate the steak for at least 2 hours. If you can marinate it overnight, even better. 

Here’s what you need to make this amazing grilled steak.

It’s so easy to make the marinade. Just place all of the ingredients in the blender and whip it up until smooth and completely blended.
