3-Ingredient Chipotle-Lime Grilled Steak

Ingredients for 3-Ingredient Chipotle-Lime Grilled Steak

• 1 canned chipotle chilli in adobo, ribs and seeds removed, plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce

• 1 1/2 teaspoons lime zest (from about 2 limes), divided

• 80ml fresh lime juice (from about 3 limes)

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more

• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more

• 675g skirt or flank steak

• Lime wedges (for serving)

Blend chilli, adobo sauce, 1 teaspoon lime zest, lime juice, oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a blender until smooth. Place steak in a large resealable plastic bag, pour marinade over, and toss to coat. Marinate, tossing occasionally, at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or chill overnight.

If chilled, let steak sit at room temperature 30 minutes. Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Grill steak until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre of steak registers 120–52°C for medium-rare, 2–3 minutes per side for skirt; 3–4 minutes per side for flank. Let rest 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain (to make slicing easier for skirt steak, cut into 5–6" segments, then slice against the grain).

Transfer to a platter and top with remaining 1/2 teaspoons lime zest; season with salt and pepper. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
