A four-hour marinating process and a quick trip to the grill make this grilled flat iron steak recipe a keeper.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1-1/2 pounds beef flat iron steak or top sirloin steak

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk the first 8 ingredients until blended. Pour into a shallow dish. Add beef; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
Drain beef, discarding marinade. Grill, covered, over medium-high heat until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), 5-6 minutes on each side. Let steak stand 5 minutes.
Cut diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
