Chef's Tip

Make sure your grill is very hot before cooking flank steak to ensure a nice charred outside and still have medium-rare inside. Cook to an internal temperature of 135º for medium-rare. Make sure to not over-marinate beef because will begin to acquire a mushy and chalky texture. This is from lime juice beginning to break down the beef.
