Ingredients

• 1 lime, plus wedges for serving
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tbsp packed light brown sugar
• 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp chipotle chile powder
• Kosher salt and black pepper
• 1 1/2 to 2 lb flank steak
• Vegetable oil

Directions

1. Grate the zest of 1 lime; cut the lime in half. Combine zest with the chili powder, brown sugar, thyme, cumin, chipotle powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Squeeze the zested lime over the steak and use the lime halves to rub the juice into the meat. Rub the spice mixture on both sides of the steak. Let stand at room temp, 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, preheat a grill to medium high. Brush the grates with vegetable oil. Grill the steak until well browned, about 8 minutes. Flip and grill until reaches 130-140, 5-7 more minutes for medium rare.

3. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Season with salt and thinly slice against the grain. Serve with lime wedges.
