Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Flank steak
• 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion powder
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Lime wedges
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Lay the flank steak flat on a cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and kosher salt to form the blackened spice rub.

Step 3

Rub both sides of the flank steak with olive oil, then generously coat the steak with the blackened spice rub, pressing it into the meat to ensure even coverage.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to high heat (450-500°F). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed and glowing hot.

Step 5

Sear the flank steak directly on the hot grill grates for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time to your preferred level of doneness (use a meat thermometer: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, etc.).

Step 6

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tender cuts. Serve hot, garnished with lime wedges for squeezing over the steak and chopped parsley if desired.
