Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs flank steak

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 medium red onion, finely chopped

1 large tomato, diced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 jalapeño, finely minced (optional for heat)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the flank steak. Place the steak in a sealable bag or dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for best flavor.

    Prepare the Salsa: In another bowl, combine the chopped red onion, diced tomato, bell pepper, jalapeño (if using), fresh cilantro, and lime juice. Toss everything together gently to combine, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grill grates are oiled to prevent sticking.

        Grill the Flank Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and place it on the hot grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer for precision (medium-rare is around 135°F).

          Rest the Steak: Once grilled, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

            Slice and Serve: After resting, slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve on a platter topped with the prepared tomato pepper salsa.
