Spice Crusted Grilled Flank Steak

You need to make this Spice Crusted Grilled Flank Steak tonight!  A unique blend of spices for the rub, but I am guessing you have each one already on hand.

It is grilling weather, perfect not too hot, not too humid grilling weather. Which means our Spice Crusted Grilled Flank Steak has been on regular rotation.

It is festival season here, Pride, Comfest and now the 4^th is right around the corner. We are the good kind of busy and sticking to the Wahls Protocol can be easy with recipes like this. Simple, fast and the leftovers holdup well for weekday lunches.

How to Make Spice Crusted Grilled Flank Steak

Combine all the ingredients (better yet make a double batch so you have some on hand!).

Stir in the olive oil and rub all over your steak.

Fire up the grill and in just a few minutes you have the best tasting flank steak EVAH!  Seriously that good. And that EASY!

What to Serve with Spice Crusted Grilled Flank Steak

This is easy. I always serve it with Rainbow Potato Salad with Cilantro & Olive Dressing during the summer.  For Spring and Fall when the weather is cooler I opt for one of these awesome side dishes:

Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Lemon Sesame Dressing

Wild Cauliflower Rice Pilaf with Grapes

Roasted Watermelon Radishes

We use the leftovers (if there are any)  in lettuce wraps with our Four Ingredient Avocado Sauce.

Happy grilling season!  Let us know how the Spice Crusted Grilled Flank Steak turns out for you in the comments below!
